We live in a time where the policies of the right are having harmful affects on many, but what about how we harm one another in our interactions among ourselves in the progressive left? If we can acknowledge and clear up some of these harms we can be more effective in our work for change. Host Marlena Willis explores how we can use the Nonviolent Communication tools of empathy and of healing and reconciliation to be heard for harm we have received as well as to express regret for any harm we have done. We also explore celebrations and appreciations.

Too often in our attempts to raise awareness of injustices, we end up calling out each other in ways that do not increase trust and cooperation, but often result in shame and judgments. We explore the differences between Calling Out and Calling In. Host Nancy Kahn provides skills and examples for the practice of Calling In, aligned with Nonviolent Communication.

Anger can be a scary emotion–both when we are angry and when someone is angry at us. In many predominantly white and privileged communities doing spiritual practice or emotion work, when facing the danger of anger, the tendency is to suppress it and project it onto others, to blame people of color and other disenfranchised people for the anger they often feel as a result of the actions of those with more privilege. How can we work more skillfully with anger so that all of our voices are heard? Host Marlena Willis explores using the tools of mindfulness meditation and Nonviolent Communication to work with anger, particularly focusing on anger between those in power and those with far less power.
