“In a moment in which ‘resistance’ is a hashtag and ‘wholeness’ is an industry, Curtice’s Living Resistance—a reckoning, reclaiming, and remembering—is a lifeline reconnecting us with our human calling. Curtice beautifully honors the ancient and eternal promise of liberation as not only our sacred birthright but our marching orders.”
—Glennon Doyle

“In Living Resistance, Curtice fiercely yet gently calls us home to care about our souls and our bodies, about each other and Mother Earth. It’s a timely and timeless call to live resistance every day as we build the world we want, together.”
—Rev. Dr. Jacqui J. Lewis

“Living Resistance forges a path to a more whole now and a more whole tomorrow. It shows how healing ourselves, our communities, our Earth, and our society are all inextricable, and how to gently integrate all levels of being and doing so that our daily acts of living become ways of resisting oppressive forces and bringing new possibilities into being.”
—Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg

“In Living Resistance, Curtice lays out a compassionate call to action for all of us to return to the source, to the root, to that which is love. Curtice writes poetically and sets out a clear and beautiful path that feels accessible to all. This book is a bold, reimagined way for us to stand courageously in our truth.”
—Joél Leon

“For those who have been hearing the call for a more equitable, compassionate, and humane world, Living Resistance is the road map we have been looking for. Curtice invites us into a multilayered understanding of resistance with love and justice at the center. Through a tapestry of ancestral, personal, and collective wisdom, she shares both practically and poetically. In a time where we are being invited to rise up and move toward liberation for all of our kin, this book reminds us of the fire we hold in our bellies and the spark we carry in our souls. I am so grateful that this book exists; it’s a must-read for all.”
—Asha Frost

“There’s so much injustice in our world today and so many reasons to resist. Yet we don’t have many models of how to engage with our world in ways that make our lives better. In Living Resistance, Curtice taps into Indigenous wisdom for how we can push back while also creating wholeness and happiness for ourselves.”
—Simran Jeet Singh

“As a rabbi, as a Jew, and as a human, I am profoundly grateful to Curtice for inviting us into the sacred realm of Indigenous wisdom. For all of us rooted in a faith tradition that seeks healing for a broken world, this inspiring book offers an accessible path of resistance to oppression. May every reader of every background find joy in journeying toward liberation and wholeness together.”
—Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner

“In this motivating entry, poet Curtice . . . encourages readers to fight against racism, patriarchy, and gender discrimination to make a more ‘whole’ world, and to make doing so a lifelong commitment. . . . Curtice delivers her wisdom compassionately without losing sight of her activist aims, and makes a persuasive case for the power of small, incremental actions to initiate powerful change. Readers will find abundant wisdom in this accessible guide.”
—Publishers Weekly

“[Curtice’s] mantra of ‘I am a human being. I am always arriving,’ underlies a unique vision of resistance, one that is affirming, intensely personal, wrapped in community and history, and consistently developing. . . . Curtice’s story of her own arriving, of affirming and integrating larger aspects of her identity than she was originally given categories for, shows how the resistance to colonizing, racist, marginalizing narratives through bodies, words, and actions can be a journey toward spiritual wholeness. . . . A work of both spiritual direction and challenge toward social engagement, with welcoming, lambent prose. Curtice is a fresh and intelligent voice in the genre.”
—Zachariah Motts, Library Journal
