A multi-cultural offering of songs, music, and eco-tones of living in/as the mystery & miracle of The In-Between.

by Kazu Haga

Meeting harm with harm (in individual, familial or collective coflict) does not work to diminish harming. Kazu Haga suggests a response shift that speaks to the roots of harm with a focus on healing: combining nonviolent action with the sciences of trauma healing and the consciousess-shift of spiritual practice. It's quite amazing how much of what is suggested here is happening in a meditation studio near you. :)
