1. Deep Breath - An auto-reflexive account of a collective journey into the healing practices of shared, embodied, breathing meditation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Religionshistoria och religionsbeteendevetenskapAbstract : When we first encounter past traumatic experiences in ourselves, we are left with a conundrum; how are we to move forward in our everyday lives and thrive, rather than just cope and survive?

This methodology is based on aspects of the worldview conflicts theoretical framework of professor Jayne Seminare Docherty, the ritual theory for peacebuilding as proposed by professor Lisa Schirch, and a plural conceptual notion of peace.
