The Courage, Wisdom, and Aloha We Need in a Timeplace of Collapse

Poetic and practical advice on who we are—and what we need to become—to move forward in togetherness and mutual responsibility in an age of uncertainty and climate chaos.

Who We Are Becoming Matters invites readers into a deeper examination of how we grow, relate, and lead in times of uncertainty. Drawing on decades of Zen training, Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge, political strategy, and community practice, Wong explores the internal and collective shifts required to evolve with intention. Her teachings challenge us to release the logic of othering and splintering, to root ourselves in the mutual responsibilities of aloha and kuleana, and to step into the messy work asked of us in a timeplace of collapse.

Quote: “What are we choosing into? To move beyond what we are comfortable about and what it is we know. To stretch into what we don’t yet know to evolve and become the humans these times and this earth requires of us. To choose not to settle for what we know.”
