Lived Experience
Dr. Redhouse expresses so beautifully the reaction of his family and his culture to what I have been calling Coronavirus Interruptus, changes that have been forced upon us in order to stay safer during the pandemic. He has reminded me that returning to cultural and spiritual roots is vital and sustaining.
Tineke Van Zandt’s “Are we distant, close or both?” is insightful. It brings to light so many things we’ve taken for granted, such as the routines and habits we create for ourselves. The disruption has forced us to find new ways of functioning and connecting with one another.
Looking back, looking forward!
In 2020, we invited you to participate in the Symposium in the Reflection Section: Lived Experience (video, photographs, slide deck, essay, etc.). This was open to everyone in our community, and invited written/oral reflections, poetry, artwork, music, dance, and conducting research in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suggestions to spark reflection: Look back over your phone photos for the last year, since March 11, 2020, to see how life has changed. What is most dear to you? What do you want to carry with you , as you move forward ?
Thank you to all who have submitted reflections!
