Une histoire hassidique raconte qu’un rabbin nommé Zusha convoqua ses élèves sur son lit de mort …
Most people who will read this likely share with me a deep sense in their heart that what we see around us is not the only option available…
"Hineni", for me, means the complete and total willingness to do whatever is asked of me by life in order to respond with care and integrity to whatever is happening.
What I want, what I am putting all my efforts into, is to create, with others, a field of love strong enough to surround the patriarchal field. To surround patriarchy with love. Because nothing else will do.
For as long as there are “bad guys”, wars will continue. War, as I understand it, is a state of collective active willingness to kill or be killed using arms. For every war, some identify with one side, some with the other side, and some mourn there being war at all and want solutions that care for everyone’s needs. 
In 2020, when Emma Quayle and I started vagabonding in earnest, one of our criteria for what we wanted our next steps to be as we journeyed further was “unmasking the impact of patriarchy and allowing us to experience first-hand the intensity of its manifestation.”
Observations, feelings, needs, and requests, which many of us within the NVC network end up referring to as OFNR, are some of the most basic building blocks of NVC. Within the circles of people who study and practice NVC, a divergence exists about whether these elements are enough
The actual felt experience of moral anguish as I understand it is entirely different from shame, guilt, or defensiveness. Having experienced it myself and seen and accompanied others, I know it to be soft, wrenching, and entirely open-hearted.
Sometimes NVC is wholly dismissed by some people precisely because of this. If we are not going to say that rape, or murder, or racism, or Nazism, or communism, or child trafficking, or whatever the person in front of us believes is wrong, then we are wishy washy nonsense, says the person and walks away in a huff.
Perspective taking is usually defined as being able to understand how another person sees the world: what story they will tell themselves about this or that situation; how they will explain to themselves why they are doing something
