Fierce Vulnerability - Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse

Summary

Nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga argues that the us-versus-them worldview many movements fall into is part of what’s destroying our relationships and the planet. Reading injustice as collective trauma, he brings together nonviolent action, trauma healing and spiritual practice, so activism becomes healing work. He pictures movements led also by healers “expert at opening up our hearts”.

Rationale

We ask which dispositions our work lives out in how it’s done. Of movements, Haga’s answer is hard: often us-versus-them, which works against healing.
