Barbara McAfeeGUEST
So I kept trying it with bigger groups.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
I did it with a group of 100 clergy when I was working with Parker Palmer in Wisconsin, on the other side of Wisconsin.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
And then I tried it with 300 people in Manitoba, and they did it.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
And then I got invited to be a TEDx speaker in Bend, and it's one of the big ones.
Pamela LardeGUEST
It kind of actually could help us look at ourselves a little bit.
Pamela LardeGUEST
But I would say Parker Palmer's Let Your Life Speak.
Pamela LardeGUEST
That book has been timeless for me.
Pamela LardeGUEST
I first came across it in my master's degree program.
Romanita HairstonGUEST
I love the fifth discipline by Peter Senge.
Romanita HairstonGUEST
Parker J. Palmer's book, the title, just as I was thinking about it, left me.
Romanita HairstonGUEST
But ultimately, he makes a point in it about way opening up.
Romanita HairstonGUEST
And I think a lot as a leader about discernment and how do you discern the way.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
So I had done it with 50 or 60 a lot.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
Then I tried it with 100 clergy people with Parker Palmer in Wisconsin.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
They did it.
Barbara McAfeeGUEST
And then 300 people in Manitoba, and they did it.
Eric BakerHOST
I had read some Quaker authors that I kind of resonated with, people like Phil Golley, who is local.
Eric BakerHOST
Parker Palmer is another one.
Eric BakerHOST
And just resonated with their worldview and the good questions they were asking.
Eric BakerHOST
And I walked in to First Friends back in 2012.
Baruch HaLeviGUEST
What does that even mean? So I'm starting to listen to where am I feeling? Anger's coming up.
Baruch HaLeviGUEST
Where's that coming up? And can I articulate it? Can I share it? Because another teacher of mine, Parker Palmer, Quaker teacher, talks about what's called third things.
Baruch HaLeviGUEST
And he said, men need a third thing to communicate.
Baruch HaLeviGUEST
So we talk about baseball and we're saying to each other, really, how are you doing? And I want to get to know you.
Gloria XiongGUEST
So this is a book that I am not reading it for the first time, but a book that I read for my first-year writing seminar in college, and I, as I am now returning back to classroom, it came back to mind.
Gloria XiongGUEST
The book is called Healing the Heart of Democracy by, written by Parker Palmer.
Gloria XiongGUEST
I think a lot of the issue that we are facing as a society, as a nation, um, should not only be analyzed, uh, through the lens of policy or institution.
Gloria XiongGUEST
I mean, as political scientists, we enjoy doing that, but I think it should also be understood as a community and as individual.
Gloria XiongGUEST
So, so yeah, Healing the Heart of Democracy.
Gloria XiongGUEST
Oh yeah, he is a great educator
Kaiser KuoHOST
So Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer.
Kaiser KuoHOST
Wow.
Doug WorgulGUEST
And then in the second book for, for Ferguson as well, if I'm not giving away too much, but yeah.
Amy FrykholmGUEST
And I think that the power of, I think what Parker Palmer calls like a third space, right? Oh gosh,
Doug WorgulGUEST
that's awesome.
Doug WorgulGUEST
Thank
Alex KopelmanGUEST
So as you know, you read in the book, we've done a lot of research into the actual concept and the way that, you know, and there's been some really interesting work done around what that means.
Alex KopelmanGUEST
So my favorite way of thinking defining it in a in an accessible way, I think, is to borrow from Parker Palmer, who's educator and philosopher and a brilliant man, he talks about authenticity as living on the outside, the truth that we know on the inside.
Alex KopelmanGUEST
So that's a nice way of thinking about it.
Alex KopelmanGUEST
I expand on that with some caveats because I think sometimes people hear that and they think that Being authentic means being unfiltered.
Michael WearGUEST
We're not just a change hearts organization.
Michael WearGUEST
But what we know is that, as Parker Palmer would say, our politics is made up of brokenhearted people, that our institutions are not sort of separate from the kind of people who make them up.
Michael WearGUEST
And so we need to be attentive to both the heart and some of the norms, structures, systems, procedures, policies that help to change.
Michael WearGUEST
Right.
