Khouri-Hicks-Peterson-Ndefo-Thomas-

Practicing Liberation reorients collective justice work toward a model that transforms the effects of injustice, harm, and oppressive systems into resilience, joy, and community care. Through frameworks like trauma-informed methodology, transformative movement organizing, engaged Buddhism, and healing justice, editors Hala Khouri and Tessa Hicks Peterson show readers how to:

  • -Embody healing, wellness, and beloved community
  • -Guard against replicating systems of harm
  • -Disrupt racist, classist, anti-queer, and anti-trans behavior and systems
  • -Celebrate creativity and radical imagination in movement work
  • -Center healing from intergenerational trauma, white supremacy culture, and extractive capitalism
  • -Honor that self-care is a necessity—not a luxury—that strengthens our collectives

Featuring essays from editors Hala Khouri and Tessa Hicks Peterson and contributors like Kazu Haga, Taj James, Nkem Ndefo, Jacoby Ballard, Sará King, Kerri Kelly, and more, Practicing Liberation can be used on its own or alongside The Practicing Liberation Workbook to help readers orient toward embodied leadership, interconnected collectives, and a bold vision for transformation—the vital tools we need for collective wellbeing, healing, and long-term social change.
