Fierce Vulnerability with Kazu Haga

This Workshop

Kazu will teach this workshop in person in Sacramento.

If you have been affected by all the changes in the world and wrestling with how to best respond in a way that is true to your deepest values, this workshop may be for you. Come explore with us: how do we build an effective movement for social justice that heals our communities, opens our hearts, and yet can publicly and fiercely set boundaries when necessary.

Our world is in crisis. Our social systems are being torn apart, our economic systems have created historic levels of wealth disparity and our ecological system is on the brink of collapse. Showing up in the face of these challenges requires a fundamental transformation of our hearts, our values and our relationships – to ourselves, to each other and to the earth.

Fierce Vulnerability weaves together social action with the lively essence that brings us together as human beings. Rooted in belonging, deep relationality, and reciprocity, we support secular and interfaith changemakers who are transforming their communities through innovative approaches that are transforming society. We privilege joy, mindfulness, and deep love for the Earth and one another.

This is a movement that:

• Sees injustice as a manifestation of collective trauma
• Sees that binary "us vs. them" thinking is at the heart of what is destroying our planet
• Commits to healing our own wounds while recognizing there is no individual healing in an interdependent world

Fierce Vulnerability is part of building the Fierce Vulnerability Network – a decentralized constellation of teams learning to respond to these times.

This workshop is open to anyone who seeks to nurture resilience and inspire meaningful action across the entire breadth of concerned and engaged citizens.

Registration

There will be one set registration price for $25 and a sliding scale for anyone to pay what's best available to their financial ability to best honor the gift economy.
