Fierce Vulnerability Book Reading
In-person book reading and discussion of Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging from Collapse.
Fierce Vulnerability Lecture
How can we imagine a movement that sees injustice as a manifestation of collective trauma and therefore understands that we can’t “shut down” injustice any more than we can “shut down” trauma? Can we do so at a time of social, ecological and economic collapse.
Fierce Vulnerability
We are living in a time of transition. Our ecological, social and economic systems are on the verge of collapse, putting many communities into a state of panic and awakening collective trauma. So how do we engage in nonviolent social change work in the midst of such turmoil?
From Coping to Thriving
In times of such urgency, it is important for those working for social change to care for ourselves so we can be at our best. However, capitalism and other forms of separation have taken away our ability to engage in practices that allow us to truly thrive.
