Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.
Today on LUNACY, we dig deep into the concept, art, and execution of Restorative Justice as a means of bringing about peace and healing after an assault. Stefan and Zan met when they were 15 years old on the mean streets of Chicago in the nineties. Although there were many beautiful aspects of their relationship, it did turn sour at the end of their high school experience with a sexual assault. (If that is troubling for you to hear, skip this one).
Decades later, this experience was brought to light again, but now, both parties were willing and interested in reconciliation. What ensued is an intricate process where the victim plainly stated what she wanted from her assailant, all of those things were granted, and they were able to heal individually and collectively, restoring the childhood bond that they cherished so long ago. This is truly a unique story that I very much hope becomes more common.
At the end of the episode, Zan details a separate healing journey she undertook after going blind in one eye and being diagnosed with MS. That is also not to be missed, as wisdom and means are offered to create the wealth of health. This is one for the books. I am very honored to have been a part of this conversation.
Get in touch with Zan at [email protected]. She also mentions how valuable the 6-phase meditation has been to her healing process. Here's a link to that as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeQfRtiY-ZM
