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.
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.
Fierce Vulnerability
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.
Join the three-month Kinship Lab to:
Learn from teachers including Francis Weller, Kaira Jewel Lingo and more!
Be places in a small, local pod of 3-8 people to move through the program with.
Deepen into the theories and practices of Fierce Vulnerability, including designing an embodied FV experiment of your own with your pod.
Join the Fierce Vulnerability Network, an experimental community of practice learning to respond to the poly-crisis in a way that nurtures healing.
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.
