One of the target groups I want to focus on with Healing Grounds are changemakers. People who give their (working) life to animals, nature, underrepresented humans or other good causes. What they are doing is so important, specially in face of the many crises today. They are leading human kind to see things in another light. They are lifting our veils to free us from our collective ignorance. Collective ignorance towards the pain and suffering we inflict upon other beings and nature. Pain and suffering we (unconsciously) inflict by the products we buy, the banks we choose, the way we travel. Changemakers help us see our share in the problem and our responsibility for the solution.
Changemakers generally have underpaid jobs in terms of money. They are, like many people in the workforce, prone to burnout. But the value they add to our earth is so enormous, that we cannot afford to loose them. If not changemakers ourselves, we at least have a responsibility to take care of the changemakers out there. Therefore I would like to invite them to come to Healing Grounds, as soon as they feel something is off. To hopefully keep them on their feet saving our world.
To understand what it’s like to be a changemaker I have interviewed some. One of the things I learned is that they are not willing to travel very far to visit Healing Grounds. It should be reachable in a carbon neutral way, in half a day travel preferably. This is one of the reasons why I would like to see many Healing Grounds. My dream is that in 20 years time everybody is able to reach a Healing Grounds within half a day traveling in a carbon neutral way.
