Healthy Human Culture - how to create it, and why we often don't
Join for an embodied, visual and conceptual exploration of health – in me, us and society.
Understand why trauma is not an individual phenomenon, why tending pain is central to cultures of peace, and how nervous system states pervade the cultural landscape, for better or worse. Sophy’s eclectic background informs a wide ranging view of how human systems work, in joyful partnerships, in violence and domination, and everything in between.
"This is the clearest map of the system I am working in that I have come across" Polly Higgins - founder of Stop Ecocide
Sophy Banks is a systems explorer. Her eclectic life has seen her as a therapist, family constellator, radical footballer, environmental activist, engineer, grief tender, teacher... and more. Sophy is deeply committed to seeing how human systems work, linking understandings from neuroscience and trauma work with concepts of power and oppression, group dynamics and processes of change. She spent 10 years holding the inner dimension at the centre of the Transition movement, giving workshops in this model for growing community resilience to groups around the world. Her lifetime questions include things like - "How can we create healthy cultures, and why do we often not? What does our relationship to grief and healing have to do with whether we co-create cultures of regeneration or harm?" Sophy lives in Devon, UK, where she grows as much food as she can and still just about gets up the hills on her bike.
