Definitely on the right track man. Tysons magic is in the haptic, the relation of body(mind) to earth through action. This is the indiginiety of acting in relation with the land (country). I come from a nurse and engineer, so making and caring (through the body) is natural. We find healing can take place through the action of making (something useful). Collective healing of the collective trauma will take place on the land through the process of making(growing) the things that we need to live. Something like joyful hardwork.

Not disagreeing, but the mantra of hurt people hurt people, is a bit hard, and not something that is good to generalise. A lot of very hurt people manage to heal, with some serendipity and very hard work. They, and a lot of the people you mention, become a bit like the undead, they return, not easily, but with some understanding that can only come from darkness. Hurt people can hurt people, but hurt people can also help other hurt people find a way out. Sorry to say this. I know you’re doing good work.
