Tending the Whole:
Moving Personal Healing into Collective Liberation

There is a “false wall” often placed between contemplative life and political action—a story implying that inner peace and outer justice are separate vocations. This imaginary divide exhausts us. In a world facing converging crises, how do those dedicated to healing move beyond the limits of individualized work to support systemic transformation?

Join somatics experts and social change practitioners Nkem Ndefo, Staci K. Haines, and Kai Cheng for a conversation introducing The Outer Work Project; an initiative dedicated to bridging trauma healing spaces with sustained social and climate justice movements. We will explore how to move from personal healing as solely an inward practice into a rooted force for collective change.
