“Refusal to Heal aims to reveal the parts of the human psyche that want nothing to do with healing back into society or a life that will not change. […] Resigned to the shadow, these parts of us seek relationality, unconditional being, truth, and a conversation no one dares to have.” Rūta Žemčugovaitė

“I feel that my ability to cope with the modern world is slowly disintegrating. I feel a thinning veil between me and the reality of the world: the multi-crisis we are facing, the daily encounters with human and non-human suffering, dying ecosystems, and disappearing species.” Rūta Žemčugovaitė

“Healing is not seedless. Healing is a ripe fruit, fallen on the ground, torn and bursting open—allowing its seeds of vulnerability to be absorbed into the soil, and its sweetness shared with other living beings.“
