workshops work 345 - From Borders to Bridges: A Chaplain’s Journey with Deb Hansen
Reverend Deb Hansen received a metaphorical message in a bottle, urging her to go to the US-Mexico border – a life calling that she followed all the way to El Paso.
As a facilitator-chaplain and quilter of the human experience, Deb has been there for people at the most painful and tender times of their lives – helping to understand their stories, and stitch back together the fragments of a broken, polarised world.
She brings beautiful stories about migration, spirituality, identity, and historical trauma with life-affirming reverence, she reads us a passage from her book Borderlands, and shows us all how to navigate vulnerability with grace.
A rich and important conversation about what it means to be human.
Find out about:
- Deb’s soul work with communities in a divisive, disconnected world
- Navigating vulnerable conversations with an open heart, and learning to sit with discomfort to honour growth
- Why authenticity is a lived practice that we manifest through words, body, and intention
- How to hold space for belonging, collective trauma, and grief in painful times
