Valerie Livesay & Zafer Achi, Living in Full Color
“Once we can see that we are not this enduring, consistent, perfect self that we've constructed ourselves to be—that we see all the ways in which we don't show up aligned with our intentions or who we want to be in the world—we start to have compassion for other people and their challenges in doing so. Once we see our complexity, we can see others’ complexity.” — Valerie Livesay Embracing every aspect of ourselves can feel squarely at odds with how we’re accustomed to showing up in our lives. But what is the cost of only e...

"The symbolic world is like language. We start more to feel the world. For example, the painting: When we visit an exhibition, mostly we see, 'This is this painter; how old it is; how much does it cost?' We judge in our outside world with facts and figures. And if we go to an exhibition and ask, 'How does it affect me, this painting? How I feel with this painting? And what would I like to do if I look this painting?'

Bastian Hermisson, Fostering an Engaged Citizenry
A democracy cannot function if you basically have a political civil war: The sense that politics is a zero-sum game, where one side loses everything and the other wins everything, and it's all about winning against the other side. That can bring you political wins for a certain amount of time, but it doesn't stabilize democracy itself and it doesn't lead to more what in Germany we call sozialer Friede — 'social peace,' a sense of togetherness. — Bastian Hermisson Bastian Hermisson is the executive director of Heinrich Böll Foundation North America, a political foundation affil...
