Meet Staci

Staci 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. She is the author of "The Politics of Trauma: Somatics, Healing and Social Justice" (North Atlantic Books 2019), which has been translated into German, and "Healing Sex: A Mind Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma" (Cleis 1999, 2007), which has been translated into German, Japanese and Spanish.

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. She co-founded generative somatics, a multiracial organization dedicated to building social justice capacity. She serves as a senior teacher at the Strozzi Institute and plays a central role in shaping its methodology. In 1999, Staci founded generationFIVE, a transformative justice non-profit committed to ending child sexual abuse within five generations.

Some of Staci’s current partners include Healing Justice London, JPB Foundation, Equality Lab, and Oak Foundation. She also partners online with Transformative Change, the Trauma Research Foundation, Embody Lab, Embodywise and others.
