*Meeting controls for call-in attendees: PLEASE NOTE: As of Sept. 27, Zoom meetings will require extra security. Starting Oct. 2, passwords (included in each weekly email) will be needed to join Friday Forums. Yael has been teaching the practice of Compassionate Listening for almost 20 years. Now she is focusing on using its powerful tools to help heal the racial suffering resulting from the pervasive racial, economic and political injustice on which this country was built. Currently, she works primarily with white people who have been awakened to the pain of racism and who now want to take responsibility for their own roles, often unconscious, in it. "Our work is to create a loving and caring world for everyone by dismantling the social mechanisms which perpetuate racial injustice and suffering," she says.
Witnessing the “new Jim Crow” there has brought her full circle to rejoin the struggle for racial/social justice in the U.S. In January 2020, Yael initiated and co-led the first domestic Compassionate Listening delegation, “Listening in the Heart of Alabama.” She looks forward to many more such trips to explore the perfect “marriage” of CL and antiracism (and all other “isms”) work in the world.
