Hector's talk will be titled “The Soul’s Mycelium: Ritual, Reconciliation, and the Healing of the Story of Separation” Through stories from Colombia’s Truth Commission and the community rituals of Re-Conectando, Héctor Aristizábal explores how theatre, spirituality, and ecology can weave a path of healing in times of collective crisis. Drawing on The Work That Reconnects, Theatre of the Oppressed, and ancestral forms of ritual, he invites us to remember that reconciliation is not only between victims and perpetrators, but between humanity and the living Earth. This talk is both testimony and invitation — to reimagine community as a sacred space where grief, beauty, and belonging intertwine like the threads of a great mycelial network.”Here's a bio of Hector https://imaginaction.org/our_team/hector-aristizabal/ And here’s his TED talk: How to Transform Your Wound into the Medicine the World Needs In this TED talk We’re invited to understand our personal wounds—not as shameful secrets to hide, but as potential medicine that the world needs. The idea is that the same pain, vulnerability or trauma that threatens us can become a source of healing and contribution if we consciously bring it into the service of others.From the deep ecology and activism perspective, this message resonates strongly. It suggests that grief, rage, fear, despair—when metabolised rather than suppressed—can become powerful fuel for ecological transformation. The wound becomes medicine not just for one person but for the community and the more-than-human world. It legitimises vulnerability as a strength and invites integration of emotional truth with ecological action.
