In one of the film’s most resonant moments, Historical Trauma Specialist Iya Affo & Yoruba Philosopher Bayo Akomolafe share how modern frameworks of healing often hyper-fixate on the individual—reducing complexity to diagnosis, and turning pain into a solitary project.
This isolating lens, they remind us, can lead to more dissociation, not less—pulling us further from the collective memory and relational field that can actually help us heal.
✨ Healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in community. In ceremony. In the remembering that we are part of something much older and wiser than any one self.
🌿 Come sit with these teachings and many others in The Eternal Song—a film woven from ancestral wisdom and stories of reconnection.
