The Compassionate Listening Project is one of those endeavors that can rekindle your hope in humanity and make you believe in love again. This Project brings together Palestinians and Jews, concentration camp survivors and former Nazi soldiers, and other groups that have long standing animosity in an effort to create discussions, engender understanding and begin the healing process. Simply amazing things have been reported by those who participate in the workshops.
The man who started the Project first got American and Soviet soldiers together for talks and discussions after the Berlin wall fell in 1990. That was so successful that he then branched out into the Middle East and then other areas. The Project trains facilitators and is always moving forward with new great ideas. Reading thru their website is very inspiring. If you ever think that the world is just full of hopeless cruelty and anger, then think again. There are many people who are working hard to heal people and society, I guess they just don’t get on CNN too much! Maybe its sexier to tell people bout the latest brutal murder or whatever, but people like these are the real news makers in my opinion. Check them out.
This is the Project's homepage that is chuck full of great info about what they do.
