Self-transformation requires social transformation. Social transformation requires self-transformation. The newest title in the “Emergent Strategy” Series, “Liberated to the Bone” addresses the intersections between healing our physical bodies and healing our relationship within systems and structures that are shaped by violence. The book illuminates three different approaches to healing: ending violence, the significance of being rooted in the present, and creating the conditions to address unfinished histories and generational trauma. By showing how these approaches are intricately connected-whether it be physically or emotionally-Raffo interrupts the traumatic binaries of the political and spiritual, the physical and intellectual, and healing and organizing.
