About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I'm celebrating and grateful for this work that's being done. NVC is making a difference and changing lives. Thanks to all the trainers doing this work; Kathleen Macferran, Meganwind Eoyang, Fred Sly and many others.
I really appreciated your honesty and candor about your own transformation and coming to believe in yourself and in others on even a more powerful level than you had experienced to date prior to your work within the prison system!! It does take both parties coming into a more trusting state.. You trusted the inmates and they trusted you.. THAT is YOUR GIFT to each other! CHEERS
Dearest Kathleen, Thank you for this wonderful way of sharing your amazing work inside prisons! It feels so hopeful to have your work come out through Tedx where it is available for so many people through out the world. Thank you! With love and gratitude, Kari
Powerful! We are all interconnected! Thank you for your stories demonstrating this.
inspiring!
Thank you for enabling me to really feel what it is like to share NVC with prisoners, Kathleen. I hope the work expands exponentially. NVC can end war, within ourselves and in the world.
I appreciate hearing about the strategies that were described in this video. Very useful.
Bravo Kathleen. Thank you for the inspiration and for all the work you have done over the years to create the world we all want to live in. Kudos!!!
Waauuuw Thank you Kathleen. I am happy to hear and see you share this wonderful message. Especially when you say TOGETHER we can …
I fully believe that Change Is Possible - and that together we can do more than alone and that together we can do things that none of us can do alone
Thank you for your work, Kathleen!
I love it! and reminds me of my own experience working with prisoners.
TY Kathleen for inviting so many of us into the prisons. I have really missed "going in" as a Freedom Project volunteer! The quality of work, learning and sharing that I experienced there cracked my heart open again and again. The men of MCC and the women of WCCW remain in my heart. I imagine your video will help us start a program here in NJ.
I love hearing how these practices and strategies get implemented in such extreme circumstances
Wow. Very impressive lady!
Very true very good
