Through collaborative learning and synthesis, youths developed their shared language of healing, and defined how a creative community should look and feel. 



We define healing as...

01. Intentionally embracing growth and being open to vulnerability
We must be susceptible to healing, i.e open to vulnerability and experiencing pain. It is very important for healing to be intentional, and to have trust in time and patience


02. A process where one can reflect and grow from past experiences
It is very easy to not take time to heal. We need to understand the need to slow down and accepting how you feel.


03. Only can be achieved with patience, acceptance, and transformation

Healing can be changes that are big or small. We need to be intentional in accepting healing because no one can heal without the other two (acceptance and patience)


Youth want a community where they can connect and empower each other, that allows them to understand and be honest with themselves. A community that is flexible, adaptable, process-oriented rather than the outcome.
