About Kara Fortier

I'm a mental health advocate and interfaith/interspiritual minister. My PlayGrounding project started as a celebration of a play's spiritual and mental health benefits. In June of 2022, ‪PlayGrounding will be launching a program to address the breakdown of trust that has become nearly irreparable. In public, we can blame extractive markets and institutions that would trade trust for profit. In private, the damage divides families and communities, leaving us wondering if it's even possible to trust even ourselves. My aim is to provide education and resources to help us regain our agency - our capacity to shape our worlds locally so that we have a chance to succeed globally. As I learned from Brother Wayne Teasdale, we don't have to be of one mind to be of one heart.
