Activist and author Kazu Haga invited us into a collective inquiry about healing, justice, and the radical courage of vulnerability. Drawing from his work on restorative justice and Kingian nonviolence, Haga explored how compassion can live alongside grief, anger, and collapse—not as escape or appeasement, but as a disciplined, relational practice of staying with the pain of the world. Together we explored: - How to hold grief, rage, and tenderness without closing our hearts or bypassing discomfort. - What it means to confront systemic harm while remaining rooted in collective healing. - How injustice might be seen not just as a political condition, but as an expression of our shared, intergenerational trauma. This is not a call to optimism or despair. This is a space of gathering. A space to listen, to tremble, to stretch our capacities for staying present with what hurts—without needing to fix, resolve, or escape. It is an invitation to metabolize our pain together, in service to those whose vulnerability is not a choice: the marginalized, the not-yet-born, and the rest of nature whose voice is rarely heard but always felt.
