Why Do We Build the Wall?, original by Anais Mitchell and Hadestown, cover by Leah Kumayama. This song is a form of creative self-expression to build self-empathy, human empathy, and spiritual empathy. Building walls separates us and causes disconnection and trauma as a form of survival. Holistic Empathy Development (HED) incorporates the 8 Limbs of Yoga and focuses on building a mind-body-spirit-heart connection and healing trauma and intergenerational trauma.
