My journey to become a Somatic Experiencing\u00ae (SE\u2122) Organizer began at an assistant\u2019s meeting. Our dear faculty member, Linda Stelte, offered the idea as a possibility: \u201cYou could organize the training in your country.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>I thought: \u201c\u2026but I am a doctor\u2026 not an organizer\u2026 I don\u2019t know anything about organizing, creating a business plan, making economic decisions, accounting, marketing\u2026 I have never used social media, and social relationships and diplomacy are not really part of my skill toolkit\u2026\u201d To put myself into a situation where I would need to make hundreds of decisions and respond to thousands of messages seemed like climbing the Himalayas, not impossible, yet who would bother? And why?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>Not being attracted to the extremely lonely, cold, harsh, and windy environment at the top of the high mountains, I dodged the proposition with a gentle smile and responded: \u201cI could.\u201d<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>A few days later, while taking a walk with my dog Taiki, I realized that if \u201cgiven the right conditions the renegotiation of trauma is possible\u201d (one of the core concepts of the SE\u2122 theory), then becoming an SE\u2122 Organizer would be a perfect opportunity to create the \u201cright conditions\u201d in a group setting to help facilitate the renegotiation of trauma for 70 people at once. It would also help facilitate the learning of the SE\u2122 technique, enabling them to multiply and spread the possibility of trauma renegotiation throughout our country for past, present, and future generations. Having regarded community healing as the highest healing art, and having tirelessly traveled the world in search of medicines that could soothe wounds caused by war and violence, I started getting enthusiastic about the idea.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>Quickly, the \u201cI could\u201d turned into: \u201cI could!\u201d I could learn the organizer\u2019s skills with time. I could ask for help and support from others with better organizing skills than I. I could pair up with Colombia\u2019s astonishing natural resources to support me and all the people involved in the training. I could keep being a doctor from a different perspective, a perspective that made the cells in my body dance with excitement and hope as I remembered the XI verse of Lao Tzu\u2019s Dao De Jing:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"We join thirty spokes<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to the hub of a wheel,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>yet it\u2019s the center hole<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>that drives the chariot.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>We shape clay<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to birth a vessel,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>yet it\u2019s the hollow within<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>that makes it useful.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>We chisel doors and windows<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to construct a room,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>yet it\u2019s the inner space<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>that makes it livable.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Thus do we<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>create what is<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to use what is not.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

About six months after the exchange with Linda, I became an SE\u2122 Organizer alongside my dearest sister, Maria Francisca, who accepted to co-organize. Shortly after, we launched Colombia\u2019s first generation of SE\u2122 students. We now have two generations studying.<\/span> <\/span>Support has shown up in all sorts of shapes: dear and known people, complete strangers, staff, assistants, faculty, students, friends, organizers, peers, elders, youngsters. As I focused my energy on tending to the Colombian SE\u2122 community\u2019s seed so it would sprout and start growing, I felt the larger SE\u2122 international community embracing and supporting us. Humans from about fifteen different nationalities have offered their help; we could name at least thirty co-parents of this project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>For forty-two years, I thought I knew the meaning of community. It was actually only a thought and a meaning; I had no idea in my body how community felt. Today, I can access through my body the somatic experience of community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>The experience as an SE\u2122 Organizer has taught me, and keeps teaching me, how much I need to keep learning to become an integral human being and how much that endeavor is worth.<\/span> <\/span>The challenges have not been few and have not been light. The learning has been immeasurable.<\/span> <\/span>Reading the hopes, dreams, and beliefs that the students share in their letters of intention when they apply for the program; looking into their eyes as they sit in silence in the classroom; witnessing how their lives change month by month, year by year\u2014how they empower themselves as new sparkles of hope light up their bodies; hearing their stories of success with their own communities, their struggles, and growing edges, I can\u2019t imagine anything more magical and more inspiring.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/span>The amount of war and violence that my generation in Colombia has been exposed to feels like a bottomless abyss. It is simply too much, too fast, too soon. For decades, I have held the deep doubt of whether I could contribute to the healing of my country without getting killed. Since I wasn\u2019t sure about the answer, I left for other countries and kept changing careers and jobs.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>When the first SE\u2122 module in Colombia finished, I was the last one to leave the classroom. I walked to my car and had an impulse to look back one more time. I did. A small rainbow shone against the mountain behind the classroom. That day, I felt in my body that there is nothing else I would rather be doing than what I am doing at this moment. The bottomless abyss in my heart now has a counterpart of endless gratitude.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
