This blog is meant to bring us more deeply together as a community after spending four-weeks together in the Roadmap tele-course.
As in the previous post, you are warmly invited to reflect and comment on the following questions in the boxes below:
IN WHAT SPECIFIC WAYS AM I READY TO DEEPEN MY COMMITMENT TO MY PASSION THROUGH NONVIOLENCE?
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED FROM THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO DEEPEN YOUR COMMITMENT? PLEASE COMMENT AND MAKE CONNECTIONS HERE.

We cannot love our “enemies.”
-The recent Metta course and these pages (I can’t believe I’m actually writing here! So look at the words and believe it, Sue)
-Miki Kashtan’s All-In course
-a plan to investigate in a general way response to conflict in my northern California rural county (Calaveras). I’m just starting to interview informally people I know and gather from them names of people they recommend I talk with about how they and we in our community respond to conflict and how it goes–those basic questions of what works? what doesn’t? and how do you dream it could be? I have the idea this could eventually lead me to some manageable-sized group interested in setting up a Restorative System and using it. At least I’ll be learning by stirring up some dialogue. So I want to support my integrity, humility and excitement for this project by connecting more deeply and broadly in the RC community and so
-semi-simulated Restorative Circle phone practice twice a month
-extending a UK family trip to include Restorative Circles facilitation training in Munich and a conference in Geneva on Infrastructures for Peace
-reaching out in internet for connections with RC folks (includes facing some minor technological challenges)
-I PARTICULARLY WANT TO CONNECT WITH A BUDDY WHO HAS SOME EXPERIENCE SETTING UP RESTORATIVE JUSTICE SYSTEMS TO PHONE CHAT REGULARLY or frequently and spontaneously ABOUT PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL QUESTIONS THAT COME UP FOR ME
