Gangs that I'm worried about, some of them call themselves governments, some call themselves corporations – organizations of people that have a big impact over our lives, and are doing some things that I think contribute to great violence on the planet, and great suffering.

When we can accept and celebrate both our needs and our resources, we can learn to use resources with conscious choice. That is my vision of true responsible freedom. ~ Miki Kashtan

One of the things that we need to stay clear about, is not to get mixed up intellectual understanding with empathy. #NVC #NonviolentCommunication

We were evolutionarily designed to do needs dance all the time, but patriarchy has diminished our capacity to do this. Join @mikikashtan to relearn this skill, this December! This course is offered on a sliding scale. nvctraining.com/live-nvc-cours…

I want us to have generosity and gentleness and let ourselves name what we do as we will. There is no “correct” way to do gifting such that anything less than it isn’t. thefearlessheart.org/from-exchange-…

The most dramatic moment was when I first heard Marshall Rosenberg say: “Never work for money and always make sure you have enough resources to do your work.” My interview with Miki Kashtan on Money. #MondayMotivation #NVC bit.ly/2DUYsnV
