Mobilizing the Power to Stop Harm

Cultivating the Love to Heal It

Weaving spiritual practice and trauma healing with the deep lineage of nonviolent social change.  

Kazu Haga

Trainer Educator Student Practitioner

I have lived in Buddhist monasteries. I have spent the last twenty-five years in social justice movements. I have sat in hundreds of circles with incarcerated people witnessing them do the hard work of healing and accountability. And I have been humbled and inspired by my own, never-ending healing journey. 

My work tries to bring all of my experiences together in a way that contributes to social change and collective liberation. Each day I find myself more committed to fighting injustice. And each day, I learn more that the fight for justice is not a political battle. It is about healing the impact of violence and separation on our souls.

Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse

In times of collapse, we need a movement that recognizes injustice as a reflection of collective trauma and embraces its role as a catalyst for collective healing through transformative action.

The Gift Economy 

The Gift Economy, to me, is a system of managing resources in a way that is aligned with our natural ecosystem. In nature, there is no imbalance, poverty, waste or hoarding - all things that we accept as normal in our current market system. For me, this is about so much more than choosing to “not charge a fee” in any of my workshops.
