Host Timothy Regan explores the nature of the human need for pace with callers in this episode.

Exactly what is this human requirement for pace?  What is it’s nature, it’s flavor and sensations, and how do we honor our own and others’ pace?  What is possible when we honor pace in ourselves and others and nature?

This and more we explore in this episode.

Timothy Regan hosts and facilitates the second congressional candidate empathy circle ever, for our US House of Representatives, CA District 11, San Francisco, currently represented by Nancy Pelosi.

Mike Zonta, a citizen from District 11, invited all candidates and Nancy Pelosi to participate.  2 candidates accepted this bold and courageous invitation: Shahid Buttar and Bianca Krieg.

Shahid and Bianca sit down together and talk and listen to eachother with respect, civility, honesty, and depth, in a simple process of speaking and listening directly to eachother called an empathy circle.

Check out this conversation – it’s inspiring!  This is what is possible in politics these days! If you are caught by the dangerous illusion that people can’t talk anymore with respect and collaboration – listen up!  This is what’s possible: listening, and being heard, and honest and civil dialogue between competing election candidates! This is a kind of leadership that is inclusive, collaborative, and actually interesting – because respectful dialogue brings the best out of all of us – and we need our best these days.

Candidate Participants:

Shahid Buttar (D) – Challenger

Bianca Von Krieg (D) – Challenger

Host Nancy Kahn explores the nature of change and social evolution by asking, “How do we change without mirroring the patterns of thinking and behavior that can hinder real growth?” and “How can we explore root causes so we can support change in ways that don’t reinforce current systems and patterns that keep us where we are?”  Callers join the conversation.
