- Creating Understanding in Relationships through the Practice of Awareness
This week we will be exploring how we can bring mindfulness into our lives–into the words we speak and the actions we take. Our guest will be Oren J. Sofer, a teacher of both mindfulness meditation and Nonviolent Communication. Because Oren is fluent in both of these skills, he brings unique insight and clarity to how to bring the practice of awareness into our relationships and our communication, so that instead of reacting, we can respond in a way that creates understanding. Co-hosts Marlena Willis and Nancy Kahn will be interviewing Oren Sofer and we will welcome call-ins in the second half of the show for questions and coaching.
Oren is is a Collaborative Trainer at BayNVC, Senior Program Staff at Mindful Schools, the international leader of Mindfulness in Education, and author of the forthcoming book, Three Steps to Better Conversations: A Guide to Mindful Communication. Oren is also trained and certified in Somatic Experiencing, a form of trauma healing based in nervous system regulation. Oren holds a degree in Comparative Religion from Columbia University.

9 min - Practicing the Assertive and Active Force of Love: Living MLK Jr.’s Vision of “Beloved Community”
This week we honor one of the greatest American philosophers, communicators and leaders of our country’s history. This Sunday evening, we invite you on a journey with us into practicing the assertive and active force of love, as taught and lived by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We welcome Kazu Haga, Coordinator and Trainer at East Point Peace Academy, and Melissa Crosby, activist, educator and poet, our local direct connection to the living lineage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s effective teachings. The Eastpoint Peace Academy is an organization dedicated to bringing about a culture of peace through training, education and the practice of nonviolence and conflict reconciliation. East Point is grounded in the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and works with incarcerated populations, youth, activists and community leaders to bring about the framework for the future, the “Beloved Community.” Kazu, Melissa, and our hosts, Timothy Regan and Marlena Willis, will share practical approaches to raising our voices and our power to create what King always wanted as the framework for the future, “the beloved community.” Melissa will talk about upcoming “Reclaim MLK” events, which are focused on direct actions dedicated to non-violent protest: “We are redefining our values and our self-worth and in doing so create more space to come into connection, to care for and learn from each other. When we come together, we have a glimpse into our collective power, and we are starting to see that very clearly now.”

About KPFA - Talk-It-Out Radio
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Talk it Out Radio, your local, live, community call-in, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Mindfulness, and Social Justice Radio Show here on KPFA, 94.1 FM.
We believe that the best place to create a more equitable and compassionate world is to practice being the world we envision right here within ourselves and with the people we share space with. We are dedicated to guiding conceptual learning and practical skills that as show hosts, we have developed as inner practices, and we have advanced training and professional experience in coaching others in. We trust in the practices we share, as we have found they powerfully contribute to greater authenticity, compassion, connection communication, effective conflict resolution, and in fact, disrupt patterns of harm that play out in communication patterns. Some of the practices we model are deep listening, empathy, compassion, presence, mindful language, and collaborative dialogue. We are passionate about supporting dialogues across sensitive and complex topics without contributing to more harm to one another in the process. We integrate NVC with anti-racist, anti-oppression, mindfulness, trauma-informed, and advanced critical thinking frameworks and practices to contribute to the values of being heard, psychological safety, caring, and dignity and respect for all people.
Our hosts Nancy Kahn, Timothy Regan and Fresh Lev White hold varied and different titles from Certified NVC facilitators, Buddhist practitioners, professional trauma-informed coaches, consultants, strategists and/or mediators.
We welcome guests and callers to practice with us. Our intention is to share world-class tools, conceptual frameworks, and personal and professional resources to empower all of us to more confidently and skillfully connect across differences and foster genuine understanding in all settings.
Talk It Out Radio show hosts long for a world in which we can all connect and work together to create a more just experience within our individual lives and all of our relationships, across our communities and the collective society, as well as the world, for the benefit of our planet, one conversation at a time.
Hosted by Nancy Kahn, Timothy Regan, and Fresh Lev White
