- 요약Amidst recent scholarship illustrating the importance of inner transformations for systems change, sustainability science is opening to spirituality. Calls for a paradigm shift toward relationality echo this inner-outer connection, as spirituality is a core dimension of many relational ontologies. Inspired by the work of Indigenous and decolonial scholars, my dissertation research approaches the meta crisis as a primarily spiritual problem inseparable from colonization and settler colonialism. Changing the mindset of modernity necessitates inner work toward unlearning the deep separateness perpetuated through the structure of settler colonialism. My first paper is an autoethnographic walking experience that illustrates the beginning of my inner work to relate differently with land, people, and knowledge. This self-inquiry is situated in historical trauma toward learning relationality. With a critical, relational walking methodology I discuss six personal (un)learnings insightful for the emerging relational paradigm in sustainability science. My second paper is a qualitative case study with a long-standing sweat lodge community in Phoenix, AZ that is guided by Native American traditional healing. This study illuminates the intrinsic relationships between the spiritual healing participants experience through sweat lodge ceremony and inner-outer transformations toward sustainability. Notably, inner-outer healing in relation to recovery from substance abuse disorder emerges with profound insights into the importance of spirituality for sustained inner-outer change. The third paper emerged from the previous two studies as a conceptual integration of my learning regarding the importance of spirituality, ceremony, and inner work for transformative change toward personal and planetary health. This critical reflection unfolds through a ceremonial unlearning process that contemplates how healing personal and collective inner wounds creates space for sacred relationships with self, other humans, non-humans, more-than-humans, and Earth broadly. I identify three overlapping inner wounds - addiction, disconnection, and trauma - and offer insights toward personal and collective healing guided by the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and discuss how this is important for sustainability and planetary health. Collectively, these three papers underscore the importance of spirituality, ceremony, and inner work for systems change and illuminate an emerging shift toward healing-oriented science.
