Reflective space

After going through these various spaces during this spiral journey, taking notes of your observations and experiences, either by yourself or with a group of people, we invite you to share with us what emerged within you during this route. 

• Question 1. What does the suppression of non-dominant perspectives and narratives feel like?
• Question 2. What does the promotion of diverse perspectives and narratives feel like?
• Question 3. How do healthy perspectives and narratives exert power onto others?
• Question 4. How do toxic perspectives and narratives exert power onto others?
• Question 5. What are the perspectives and narratives that are healthy* to the ecology of the context?
• Question 6. Where do *healthy narratives occur in your context? How can you contribute to them?
• Question 7. What are the perspectives and narratives that are toxic to the ecology of the context?
• Question 8. Where do toxic narratives occur in your context? How could you turn them obsolete?

*In this context, “healthy” is not a synonym for “positive”, but rather one that creates the conditions for the growth of all actors within the ecology, especially those whose growth have been suppressed.  Toxicity would be the opposite of this – a parasitic or poisonous condition in which a minority grows at the expense of the majority.
