Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Healing in chapter fifteen of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. This week, Vanessa and Casper are joined by Artie Wu, the founder of Preside Meditation and a dear friend of Casper’s. We discuss Umbridge’s use of silence, Harry’s perception of his own survival, and the importance of a diagnosis. Our question this week is: what is the relationship between individual and collective healing?

Thanks this week to Charlyn for our voicemail. Next week we’re reading chapter sixteen, In the Hog’s Head, through the theme of respite.
