Session 9: Seeing with Generous Eyes

The practice we explore in this session doesn’t just change the way the world looks, it changes the way the world responds. The stories from the peace & justice worker Pancho Ramos-Stierle and a young woman, Kelly Osajima, give a glimpse of the soft power of this practice. The session starts with an animation on the money system that I draw on in this session and later. It was made by my son Jimi Eisenstein.

Optional NAAS Subscription

This course has run as a DIY course, and you are welcome to do it that way. However, for many people it is more powerful to work the material with a group. My business partner and former wife Patsy and I host a network community called A New and Ancient Story (short for NAAS). It is an online network dedicated to reverence in communication. If you would like to participate in it in conjunction with this course, go to the community landing page and read the introduction and posting guidelines. If you feel resonant, you can join through additional subscription. Once you are a member, you will find archives of discussions on course forums on the left menu as well as participating in many features NAAS offers
