INTERVIEW TOPIC:
RECEIVING LIFE’S CONSTANT INVITATIONS INTO BELONGING
In this interview, author and dreamworker Toko-pa Turner tells us that belonging is creating or fostering a place where the entirety of who we are is allowed, venerated, and celebrated. She shares:
the many different forms of belonging, and how ancestral, cultural, and personal factors can lead us to forget our belonging
how moving our lives as a response to the images and meanings we receive in our dreams serves our personal belonging as well as our belonging at the larger level of culture and ecosystem
that being exiled, being an outsider, is an essential, an initiatory step to coming into true belonging
that longing is the force that calls toward us that which is missing from our lives
