The Possibility of Understanding instead of Reacting

This special online session is a new one I have put together that I hope will be helpful when having conversations with others with whom we have very different points of view. It will delve into the needs underlying the thoughts and judgments we bring to these conversations.

It is part of a 62-hour telethon that will take place from August 7-August 9. Baba Tree International (where I serve on the board) is hosting this free global gathering focused on building peace, both within ourselves and across communities. Participants from around the world will come together through workshops, music, storytelling, dialogue, and cultural exchange to explore practical paths toward healing, justice, regeneration, and hope.

I urge you to click on the link below and then click on "See the current events schedule" to gain more detailed information on the offerings that comprise this 3-day event. And then I hope you will go back, enter your email and name, and click on "Join now." The Zoom link will be sent to your email.

All sessioins are free. Participate in as many or as few as you want. There will be requests for donations to Baba Tree programs; please give only if you can do so joyfully.

I hope to see you at 2:00 PM on the 9th and maybe at other sessions also. My guess is there is a wealth of opportunity to meet needs for learning, community, inspiration, and hope.
