CAMILLA CARR AND JON JAMES were in Chechnya to set up a rehabilitation centre for children traumatised by war. Two months later, they were kidnapped in the night by masked and armed Chechen rebels. Held in captivity for fourteen months, they survived everything from threat of execution, rape and mental torture to moments of compassion and kindness. They survived by using tools such as Tai Chi, meditation and humour, and by creating a dialogue with their captors, looking beyond their masks of fear and anger to reach the small flame of love and laughter unquenshed by the demonising nature of war. | |||||
| THE FORGIVENESS PROJECT Camilla and Jon are now active participants in this project, which aims to reframe the debate about how individuals and communities can learn to celebrate difference and overcome division to foster positive social change. | |
|||||
| WORKSHOPS AND TALKS Camilla has given many talks and facilitated workshops drawing on how she and Jon survived in captivity and how she came to her own sense of forgivness. These are currently offered - please get in touch for details. | ||||||
