"We can bring down the entire system, but if we haven't healed our traumas and learned how to be in authentic relationship with each other, we will corrupt any new system we put in place. We can heal every person's trauma, but if we haven't dismantled the structures that perpetuate injustice at a systemic level, we'll replicate the conditions for new traumas to constantly be created." - Kazu Haga
"Diyin Dine’é ashoondi, Creator of life, nourisher of hearts, strum us like strings, beat us like drums, beat us like wings, let’s make the symphony that begins to heal all things." - Lyla June
Join us for A Time of Reckoning and Repair: Healing our Wounds, Restoring our Wholeness with author, activist and Kingian nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga and Indigenous musician, scholar and community organizer Lyla June.
How do we reckon with the wounds of history and begin to heal the layers of trauma we hold individually and collectively? What are the ways we can make reparations real at all levels and restore a culture of wholeness and radical interconnectedness? As we move deeper into a time of reckoning and repair, join us in the work of building beloved communities and healing movements that embody the power of love and liberation.
