Hi, I am Mahé Léa and this my first newsletter.
It is all about social commentary on the practice of therapy, education, modern spirituality and healing.
For more than ten years I have studied spirituality and energy medicine which led me to become a certified therapist and a healer. I also happen to be the product director in an AI startup called Epifini whose purpose is to ask the right questions and remove bias to uncover the truth in organisations - or in anything you could apply it to. Both career paths started while I was living in Australia; a country where leaders have no appetite for innovation or culture, and where higher education is one of the poorest I have ever encountered. A context where there are no questions asked, no debate to be had, no critical thinking to be fostered, no accountability to be held to. Instead we’re being told we should all be grateful and happy.
Except that the world has changed a lot since the end of 2019. Many people aren’t that well, aren’t in a good place, don’t know where to look for answers, don’t know where to go and who to turn to, who to trust or what to trust. A lot of people are scared, in grief, isolated, lonely, coerced, dismissed, silenced, or even cancelled.
In periods of hardship, we used to turn towards community, friends, family for support, for comfort, for advice. For many, that too has been atomised and fragmented. Certainty, or the perception of it, is a thing of the past. The impact on each individual, on society at large and on our planet is real but rarely acknowledged.
In the midst of this, we need support and hope. I believe we also need to be more personally responsible for our decisions, our behaviour, our beliefs, our positioning. We need to ask the right questions, to contemplate and reflect on the difficult ones without looking away. That’s essentially why I am writing.
I’ll be diving with you into the topics of therapeutic support, healing, education and spirituality which form the cornerstone of my practice. Take one away and it simply doesn’t work. These concepts are foundational but they have been bastardised, individually and collectively, in our society. As this newsletter progresses, I hope we can bring back some respect, integrity and reverence to these and find some solutions for a world in need.
I hope you’ll enjoy it. I hope you’ll participate and engage.
I am glad to be here and I am looking forward to connecting with you.
