Meeting Time: Wednesdays, 9 am to 11 am PST
We are forming a Training Team to work on a Empathically Facing and Transforming Fears. We want to develop a Tool Kit for how to address personal and social fears. The country is becoming more fearful. It’s what creates the foundation for authoritarianism. Obama recently called it a ‘Politics of Fear.‘ We want to face this head on with empathy. To take part email EdwinRutsch@gmail,com

Meetings
"Peace requires something far more difficult than revenge or merely turning the other cheek; it requires empathizing with the fears and unmet needs that provide the impetus for people to attack each other.
Being aware of those feelings and needs, people lose their desires to attack back because they see the human ignorance leading to those attacks. Instead, their goal becomes providing the empathic connection and education that will enable them to transcend their violence and engage in cooperative relationships.'"
Marshall Rosenberg
