Mobilizing the Power to Stop Harm
Cultivating the Love to Heal It
Weaving spiritual practice and trauma healing with the deep lineage of nonviolent social change.
Trainer Educator Student Practitioner
I have lived in Buddhist monasteries. I have spent the last twenty-five years in social justice movements. I have sat in hundreds of circles with incarcerated people witnessing them do the hard work of healing and accountability. And I have been humbled and inspired by my own, never-ending healing journey.
My work tries to bring all of my experiences together in a way that contributes to social change and collective liberation. Each day I find myself more committed to fighting injustice. And each day, I learn more that the fight for justice is not a political battle. It is about healing the impact of violence and separation on our souls.

Healing from Trauma, Emerging through Collapse
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.
The Gift Economy
The Gift Economy, to me, is a system of managing resources in a way that is aligned with our natural ecosystem. In nature, there is no imbalance, poverty, waste or hoarding - all things that we accept as normal in our current market system. For me, this is about so much more than choosing to “not charge a fee” in any of my workshops.
