Fierce Vulnerability

Sat, September 6th, 2025
10:00AM - 4:00 PM Pacific Time
In-Person Workshop in Oakland, CA

Hosted by East Bay Meditation Center

Fierce Vulnerability envisions a movement that recognizes that injustice is not a political issue, but a manifestation of our collective trauma. And because injustice is a manifestation of trauma, we can’t “shut down” injustice any more than we can “shut down” trauma.

Resistance to injustice, therefore, is an attempt at healing our collective wounds. 

• How do we build fierce movements that have the capacity to meet this current moment while acknowledging that vulnerability might be our greatest strength?

• How can we engage in nonviolent action that not only “shut” things down, but open things up?

• How do we prepare ourselves to build such a movement? What is the healing work required of us to lead in this way?

Join us as we explore these questions.
