Wendy Wood is a conflict transformation colleague of mine. She's one of the co-founders of The Karuna Center for Mindful Engagement, the co-author of the book Do No Harm: Mindful Engagement for a World in Crisis, and a founding member of the Democracy Politics and Conflict Engagement (DPACE) Initiative of Mediators Beyond Borders International.
Wendy's has worked on trauma healing and reconciliation in Rwanda and the transformation of conflicts throughout the United States.
Wendy and Duncan work together on the DPACE Initiative where we are dedicated to bringing helping professionals bring conflict engagement skills to political organizations and social change movements.
In this conversation we talk about the dual role of compassion, healing both ourselves and others. how great that is given the fact that harm also works in two directions. We talk about taking responsibility and increasing our ability to respond to the needs of others. We talk about the huge challenges that we face in the United States and the world, and we celebrate the fact that we have the solution to those challenges, if we choose to use them.
