In this episode of Fierce Compassion, author and somatics trainer Staci Haines illuminates how our bodies hold both personal and societal trauma, and how somatic practices can transform our relationship to change-making. Through exploring core human needs for safety, belonging, and dignity, Haines reveals how polarization and political trauma live in our bodies – and how we can work with these embodied experiences to build authentic power and connection. Drawing on decades of experience in transformative justice and movement building, she offers practical wisdom for cultivating ourselves while fostering the conditions for true Beloved Community, even in times of deep division. Join us for this timely conversation about healing, action, and hope.
Staci Haines has been experimenting at the intersections of personal and social transformation for the last 30 years through the work of somatics, trauma healing, embodied leadership, and transformative justice. Staci is an innovator in the field of Somatics, focusing on how it can bring transformative capacity to social and climate justice movements and help heal the impacts of trauma and oppression. She runs online and in-person programs and teacher trainings, and partners with social and climate justice organizations.
