Published: March 1, 2021, 2 p.m.

b"Achilles' mother heard a prophecy that her son would be killed at a young age. So she did what any mother would, she dipped him in the river Styx to give him immortality. He grew up strong and\\xa0beautiful, creating all kinds of havoc\\xa0believing he was invulnerable. \\xa0Little did he know he had a spot on his body that didn't get covered in the water. It was this unseen wound, this unseen and\\xa0unknown part of himself that\\xa0ultimately caused his demise. \\xa0\\n\\nWhat we don't know or see can be the cause of a lot of pain. \\xa0Being invulnerable is not human. \\xa0What's you Achilles heel? \\xa0What is the situation or feeling that buckles your knees? This week Kevin and Niseema take us through the nine types\\xa0of wounds that we organize our sense of self around. We believe that the\\xa0wound will not be seen or felt by others, but often it is. \\xa0In\\xa0exploring and knowing your wound you have the\\xa0opportunity to drop into a\\xa0deeper\\xa0humanity and\\xa0ability to connect to others."
