Cross-posting this conversation with Kazu Haga and Peace Catalyst staff member Liz Digitale Anderson (source):
In a world where division and violence appear stronger than ever, how do we break the cycles of hate and work for healing for ourselves and our community? How might we embody both courage and love, taking action for change without recreating the harm we’re resisting?
Watch our conversation with Kazu Haga, a nonviolence and restorative justice practitioner and trainer, and author of the book Fierce Vulnerability, as we explore the ways in which our personal and collective healing are woven together. Through the intersections between Christian peace spirituality and Buddhist practice, lessons from the fields of nonviolent organizing and trauma healing, and a shared hope and longing for the Beloved Community, we hope that this conversation will encourage and inspire you as you seek to live out the divine peace wherever you are.
