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.

We are living in a world where the depths of division, violence, and destruction can no longer be ignored. From political polarization leading to the erosion of the democratic process to the climate crisis continuing to perpetuate racial inequity, we need changes that heal harms at the personal and systemic levels.

Escalated forms of harm require an equally escalated response. Yet social movements often use tactics that have a tendency to escalate an  “us vs. them,” “right vs. wrong” worldview not conducive to healing.

In Fierce Vulnerability, activist and author Kazu Haga argues this binary worldview is at the heart of what is destroying our relationships and our planet and offers a new way to create healing by combining the time-honored lineage of nonviolent action with the sciences of trauma healing and the promises of spiritual practice. Fierce Vulnerability realizes we can’t “shut down” injustice any more than we can “shut down” trauma; if healing is our goal, we need social movements that center relationship.

What others are saying

"Kazu Haga is one of the wisest voices in a new generation of teachers and activists. This important new work invites us to be mindfully conscious wounded healers, not wounded wounders—activists who end up making things worse. With fresh insights, brilliant writing, and a clear teaching style, he points a way forward in this cataclysmic time of permanent warfare, climate chaos, and cultural collapse, inviting us beyond the deadlock of “us vs them” into activism as collective healing work and organizing as a spiritual practice."

Rev. John Dear, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author of Living Peace

"In Fierce Vulnerability, Haga invites us to understand that there is no freedom or resiliency in a changing world without telling the truth that our freedom actually means healing. This book is good medicine for those of us on the frontlines of liberation work who long to root our work in an ethic of care and healing."

Lama Rod Owens, author of The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors

"Kazu Haga’s new book is a profound invitation to personal and collective awakening in response to our unraveling world. This book is brilliant, compassionate, and powerfully hopeful."

Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance
