The Biggest Myth About Vulnerability

Our capacity for full heartedness can never be greater than our willingness to be broken hearted. We ca only love and be loved as much as we are willing to have our heart broken.

What is Empathy?

One of the things that I experience when empathy is present is that the blocks to action which does not exclude are removed. So one of the ways that I can identify that empathy is present is, that whatever is impeding action is gone and that the quality of that action is that it tends to include, it connects, it brings pieces together, it resolves what appears to be knotted and bound” ~ Dominic Barter

"When painful or violent conflict occurs we actually create more security for our communities when we move towards each other rather than away..."

Working with Dominic Barter has deeply impacted my personal growth and my understanding of conflict as community. To hold a restorative presence for others means holding that presence for oneself,that means that the work is as much personal as it is social. The next videos I will post will feature Dominic talking about Empathy.
