Join Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) for a conversation with Norma on visionary strategy, collective practice, and what leaps we need to make in a time of maximum fear.
In her book, When No Thing Works: A Zen and Indigenous Perspective on Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse, Zen master and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Wong describes this time as an era of collective acceleration, where the swiftly moving current, fed and shaped by human actions, sweeps us toward ever uncertain futures. In her book and in her work, Norma invites us not only to imagine, but to live into, a story beyond crisis and collapse.
