#DecolonisingWellbeing 💝Earth- and wallet-friendly gift ideas for our loved ones!
💰#CapitalistChristmas and the holiday season is upon us again, a time where companies bombard us with endless #HolidayDeals and temptations to encourage us to spend money. While we place no judgement in the #Human desire for #Material goods once in a while, #Balance is important, as well as a consciousness surrounding our spending and #Consumption habits. We believe some of the best #Gifts are ones made with #Renewable materials, with #Love, by people who care. We also belie

#DecolonisingWellbeing 💌Sending love to all who are not feeling the ‘holiday spirit’
❤️🩹 While the ‘holiday season’ can be a great time to celebrate, reflect, and spend quality time with our loved ones, we need to recognise that nobody is ‘obligated’ to subscribe to the ‘holiday spirit.’ As we approach the end of the ‘2024th year of the Common Era,’ let’s recognise that there are many reasons why people of the Global Majority might have complex thoughts and feelings about this time. Even through the ‘holiday season,’ some continue to endure grief, genocide,

🚨 #AI🚨 You might have seen, we’ve recently dropped our latest report: “Balancing Progress and Human Rights: Is Thailand Ready for AI That Respects Human Rights?”
#AI is evolving faster than Thailand’s laws can keep up, and we’re not having it. We gathered some of the brightest minds for an unapologetic LinkedIn event—moderated by the one and only Tommy Walker—where experts Dr. Jean Linis-Dinco, Emilie Palamy Pradichit, Joanita Britto Menon, and Arzak Khan laid it all out: AI, human rights, and Thailand’s serious need for legal reform. If you missed the event, don’t stress! Slide to capture some highlights! 📹 You can still catch the

#DecolonisingWellbeing 🫂No community care without accountability and repair!
💔Expecting communities to be entirely free of conflict, disagreements, arguments, fights, and misalignments is unrealistic and counter to our human tendencies. Especially in a world we are trying to decolonise in tangible ways, we should not only face these human challenges, but anticipate them. We must remember that the end goal of our movements is liberation for all our intersectional causes, and a world where all can embrace our differences together. We will never get th

#DecolonizingWellbeing 🤍May we all achieve the freedom to be ordinary!
🫂 Though our ancestral rage and sadness must be felt and validated, sometimes we need to humble ourselves - especially when it comes to our own blood. We deserve to hold our predecessors accountable for the harms towards us that they were responsible for, and traumas they passed down onto us, in order to mitigate further suffering and heal ourselves. At the same time, reserving some grace and forgiveness for those who sincerely did their best with the tools they had at the t

#DecolonisingWellbeing 🤝 We can find common ground!
😡 Let’s get this straight, first and foremost: arguments and conflict are going to be part of life, no matter what. It’s part of being a child, parent, sibling, decision-maker, changemaker, visionary, coworker, friend, romantic partner, and human. As discussed in last week’s post on Generational Trauma , there can be so many barriers to healing. If we value diversity, a bit of human conflict once in a while should be anticipated, as part of our human balance. Thus, instead o

#DecolonisingWellbeing ❤️🩹 Leaving generational trauma wounds unhealed perpetuates cycles of oppression!
Does history really ‘repeat itself?’ What if we were able to change its course by breaking the status quo through radical healing? When we honour and let go of our past, and take responsibility for our present, we realise our power to shape a better future. Generational trauma, as the name suggests, develops over time with every generation. If trauma wounds remain unhealed by the previous generation, it gets passed down. It might go as follows… …individuals/communities inheri
