This recording is part of Between the Lines, a Courage & Renewal author series that invites meaningful conversations with writers whose work helps us reflect deeply, live courageously, and lead with heart.
In this session, Kazu Haga — activist, trainer, and author of Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging Through Collapse — joins Parker J. Palmer, Kathryn McElveen, and the Center for Courage & Renewal to explore how inner transformation is inseparable from the pursuit of justice and societal healing.
Drawing from decades of work in nonviolence and his own personal journey, Kazu speaks to the necessity of integrating self-work, spiritual grounding, and community practice to create a more just and life-giving world.
Together, we explore:
- The relationship between personal healing and structural transformation
- Nonviolence as both a philosophy and a practice for deep societal change
- How to sustain courage, clarity, and compassion in the face of injustice
- Building communities rooted in love, accountability, and liberation
Whether you’re an organizer, educator, healer, or someone yearning for change, this conversation offers wisdom and practices to support the ongoing work of becoming the change we wish to see.
