Oh my~ Josine! You are a survivor of things that many of us cannot fully imagine or understand. Even still, we can hold the energy of support, empathy, and love for you. Thank you for bravely sharing your story with the world! You have so much wisdom to share. I'm looking forward to reading your book~~ thank you thank you thank you~~~
It was an honor to meet and hear your name here Josine. Thank you for sharing your story of resilience from a place many would not have been able to keep moving forward. I look forward to reading your book. Deep bow 🙏🏼
Oh Josine - I am so grateful that you shared your story with us…I was crying along with you as you told your story. You are clearly a remarkable woman and a great inspiration! Simply cannot wait to read your book, dear one! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Josine is so wise and brave here letting go of certain ideas of home and re-imagining them in ways that accomodate a painful reality and recall of uprooting, wandering,loss.
Josine, thank you for bravely sharing your story and I look forward to reading your book. These challenges have made you who you are today, a beautiful, wise, resilient young woman.
In regards to 'home', I think it all starts with feeling in home in my body - moving and flowing with each day as easefully as possible, no matter what is happening. And feeling free to be all who I am, not carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Laughing, resting, and finding quiet.
I'm so grateful for the mentors in my life, including you, Elena, who have shown that quiet, tender, easeful steps forward are the right way. Thank you ✨
What an incredibly moving story. Thank you. It feels as though Josine has taken a mantra of “keep moving” to heart and she is now seeing the world and all its goodness along the way. I hope that goodness continues to return to her, and to her family. Thank you both for this glimpse into a dark time and experience, as well as the light which emanates from it through Josine.
Mostly in my spine and the point between eyebrows. At ease at peace and thankful to be aware of all of this. We are always home, we just love pretending we aren’t sometimes 🙏
What a treasured human to human conversation and connection. I cried and listened with my hand on my heart, feeling the deepest gratitude for Josine & the space you held for her, Elena. May resilience & continued healing shower Josine as her powerful story is shared /read. Deep bow 🙏🏼
Lovely to see you in real life and in this post this week, Elena! Feels like hitting two parts of a trifecta ; ) Now just a cup of tea or walk and we'll get all three!
I can just imagine the beauty of being at San I as the deer dances start, have done that in the past and am always so moved by the heart and soul of these land-based people who have taken care of this place we live since time immemorial.
"What and where is home?" has been a guiding question of my life. I resonate very much with the notion that home is a state of consciousness, even as an actual place on this earth is deeply important as well. It's a paradox I love to dive into...
I look forward to watching the video conversation with Josine, and a blessed new year to you.
Thank you dear Elena, for hosting this conversation and holding the space around it, and to you dear Josine, for bravely sharing this testimony and journey.
So much love and gratitude to you both for going so deep here. It is the most heart-stirring conversation to be a witness to.
I have no idea how I missed this post and video until tonight, but I am here now, and that is all that matters. No words could adequately express the experience of witnessing this conversation, if I had more, I would surely share them.
Much, much love to you Josine, may your book find the hearts and eyes of those who need to hear it. Much love to you too Elena, I felt I was with you in this conversation as it unfolded.

peace within... at home within. yes Paolo! sending love.
On the lighter side of things, this reminded me of the the light hearted film Holiday in Santa Fe 🙏
now i'll have to watch...
This touched me deeply as a mother, a daughter, a surviving child of a genocide that effects my family to this day.
Perspective is such an essential pocket of how we choose to craft our lives.
Thank you ♥️
