The spirituality that we need to develop for social change is one that mobilizes us for social change.

All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished.

Public education for some time has been heavily focused on what curricula we believe will be helpful to students. Life-Enriching Education is based on the premise that the relationship between teachers and students, the relationships of students with one another, and the relationships of students to what they are learning are equally important in preparing students for the future.

I wouldn't expect someone who's been injured to hear my side until they felt that I had fully understood the depth of their pain.

When we judge others we contribute to violence.

Postpone result/solution thinking until later; it's through connection that solutions materialize - empathy before education.

It's really a spiritual practice that I am trying to show as a way of life.
