John Paul Lederach: VARELA SYMPOSIUM: Transforming Conflict – From Science to Real World Applications (Part 2 of 9)

Summary: Episode Description: In this episode, John Paul Lederach explores the nature of conflict and reconciliation and shows us how the path forward is never a straight line. John begins this talk with a guided meditation and then moves into three stories that reflect this idea of reconciliation through patient persistence.
