Avoid 'shoulding' on others and yourself!
The spirituality that we need to develop for social change is one that mobilizes us for social change.
We need to receive empathy to give empathy.
Time and again, people transcend the paralyzing effects of psychological pain when they have sufficient contact with someone who can hear them empathically.
The number one rule of our training is empathy before education.
When we focus on clarifying what is being observed, felt, and needed rather than on diagnosing and judging, we discover the depth of our own compassion.
