Reciprocity is at the Heart of Parrott Creek

Simon Fulford and Ame Mañon-Ferguson of Parrott Creek Child and Family Services chat with us about reimaging trauma healing and the expansive, gorgeous work they do for families and the 80 acres of land that surrounds their site. We were blown away by their care and intentionality with the folks they serve with and through their Cultural Ecology Project. We learn about treating all people with unconditional positive regard and about what happens when folks healing from trauma heal in an intentional community and heal with and alongside nature. Our hearts and minds were expanded by this lovely conversation.  Cool stuff we mention on this weeks episode (or meant to anyways):Parrott CreekCultural Ecology Project at Parrott CreekDonate to Parrott [email protected] them on InstagramSunrise by Joy HarjoChapters00:00 The Power of Poetry and Introduction to Parrott Creek01:25 Understanding Parrott Creek's Mission and History05:35 Cultural Ecology and Land Stewardship09:53 The Healing Power of Nature14:36 Measuring Success Beyond Metrics19:06 Unconditional Positive Regard and Trauma-Informed Care23:26 Community Engagement and Restorative Justice28:06 Finding Inspiration and Hope in Nature32:30 Supporting Indigenous Communities and Local Initiatives36:59 Closing Thoughts and Call to Action
