Fierce Vulnerability Workshop

In Person Workshop

Our world is in crisis. Our social systems are being torn apart, our economic systems has created historic levels of wealth disparity and our ecological system is on the brink of collapse. The need for a powerful movement that nurtures a radical, fundamental transformation has never been greater.

Yet our need is not only a transformation of systems and laws and policies. What we yearn for is a fundamental transformation of our hearts, our values and our relationships – to ourselves, to each other and to the earth.

Fierce Vulnerability is an attempt to build such a movement. A movement that:

• Sees injustice not as a political issue, but a manifestation of our collective trauma - and therefore understands that we cannot simply “shut it down” any more than we can shut down trauma.

• Recognizes the need for an escalated response to the escalated levels of violence and fracture, but understands that the binary “us vs. them,” “right vs. wrong” worldview is at the heart of what is destroying our planet.

• Accepts our own imperfections, and is committed to healing our own wounds so that we have an embodied understanding of what it means to heal – while recognizing that there is no such thing as individual healing in an interdependent world.

Fierce Vulnerability does not have the answers – because the questions we need to be asking ourselves in these times are too big to be knowable. But we can still build community. Create beauty. Affirm life. Listen. And respond to the crises of our times skillfully.

Come explore with us as we ask ourselves: 

How do we build a movement that has the militancy to occupy a government building and the sensitivity to see it as an act of healing? 

How do we build a movement that can shut down a highway while opening up our hearts? 

How do we stop injustice in its tracks while acknowledging the interconnectedness of all beings?

 How do we protect ourselves while tending a relationship with our heart-brokenness? 

How do we heal and transform ourselves, our relationships and our world?
