As the survivors of genocide we sometimes carry a burden of shame and worthlessness that has nothing to do with who we truly are.  Just as an ancient hatred possesses the power to infiltrate generations of connected yet divided souls, so too does the power of bondage.  The power of bondage works by confusing us about our identity, individually and collectively.  By using the framework of bondage we come to understand ancestral suffering.  We begin to connect their ancient reactions and responses to the deep soul wounds many of us experience today.  These wounds link us together in the shared struggle to overcome.
