Rooted in storytelling, this presentation leads people to realize every opportunity to practice compassion by exploring their own experiences of suffering and bearing witness to the suffering of others. The story is one of triumph of love over hate and of two men who breached a great divide to find compassion and forgiveness.

When white supremacist Wade Michael Page murdered six people and wounded four in a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin in 2012, Pardeep Kaleka was devastated. The temple leader, now dead, was his father. His family, who had immigrated to the U.S. from India when Pardeep was young, had done everything right. Why was this happening to him? Meanwhile, Arno Michaelis, a former skinhead and founder of one of the largest racist skinhead organizations in the world, had spent years of his life committing terrible acts in the name of white power. When he heard about the attack, waves of guilt washing over him, he knew he had to take action and fight against the very crimes he used to commit.

GUEST: Arno Michaelis - Former Skinhead, speaker, author of My Life After Hate and works with Serve 2 Unite, an organisation that engages young people of all backgrounds as peacemakers.

GUEST: Pardeep Singh Kaleka - Author of “The Gift of Our Wounds” Trauma therapist and Co-Founder of Serve 2 Unite
