"What does a healthy community look like? This beautiful image of being unafraid, of everybody having what they need, of everybody having the opportunity to reach their dreams, everybody being able to take care of themselves and not having it taken away from them—all of those are part of the vision of a good life. It's not just an individual good life, it's a communal good life. Concertación, if you were just literally translate it, means 'coming into harmony' and the way that it works in our communities is to hear somebody else with your heart. You hear them from the heart. And when you hear them from the heart, you spontaneously shift. You are automatically standing on common sacred ground and you just shift generously." (Alexia Salvatierra)Wellbeing begins with we. “If your community is not well, then you are not well.” Thriving is collective. But our atomic individualism and narrow focus on ourselves is constantly pulling us away from the mutual belonging, reciprocity, and vibrant flourishing that can only be found by seeking the good of the wider human community—the neighbor, the stranger, the migrant, the farm worker, and the poor.Rev. Dr. Alexia Salvatierra is a scholar, organizer, activist, and pastor, and is Academic Dean of the Centro Latino as well as the Assistant Professor of Integral Mission and Global Transformation at Fuller Theological Seminary.She offers a healing message for those who wrestle with the pain and suffering caused by structural and systemic injustice, calling for listening, empathy, and action. Alexia's faith is rooted in community and kinship. She affirms the wisdom of the body and cautions against over-intellectualization, offering instead a larger emotional vocabulary, emotional attunement, and the ability to hold and live with complex feelings.The power of community is on display in our ability to celebrate and suffer together. And in Alexia's work as an activist, she shows how fractured communities can reconcile through the power of a shared dream.In this conversation with Alexia Salvatierra, we discuss:The unique wisdom that Latin- a/o culture brings to spiritual and theological conversations about thriving and spiritual healthThe complex, communal, and collective nature of thrivingHow her theology as a Lutheran pastor was formed by compassion and concern for the poorThe challenge of Western Christians to see beyond individualistic rationality and the atomic unit of the self when thinking about wellness and thrivingThe transformative potential of a common dream to unify and reconcileThe power of beautiful stories that are deeply connected to truth and goodnessSeeing relationships as not just an end goal of thriving, but a means to thriving.About Rev.

But be glad and rejoice for ever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—and their descendants as well. Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; but the serpent—its food shall be dust! They shall not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.”The sounds of healthy communityEqual valueWe all want to belongFrederick Buechner: “Vocation is where the world's deep hunger and our own deep gladness meet.”Trauma and faith, agency to combat hopelessnessSpiritual gift of justiceDolorismo: ennobling suffering, suffering in silenceOrthopathos: when suffering can be useful to make a change“The Holy Spirit is your consolation, your consuelo.”Surfing the Spirit: Fluidity and dynamic balanceSerenity Prayer“I don't make the collective an idol.”The importance of freedom, while critiquing “super-individualism”Discern in the context of communityIndividual discernmentLiberation theology: “You learn by doing.”Meditative Prayer Practice: The Serenity Prayer (In English and Spanish)Civil War in Guatemala and PanamaDr. Oscar Arias of Costa Rica—informal peace process behind the scenesThe Dream Exercise and Concertación (”coming into harmony”)The difference between concertación and negotiation“It's about generosity.”Generosity vs dividing up the checkDream Exercise“As poor people, we have trouble believing that our dreams can come true, period.”Eli Finkel's All-or-Nothing Marriage: How the Best Marriages WorkSocial capital and trustJesuits in AsiaEnculturation: Encountering the truth (and each other) at the intersections of cultureOrthopoesis and beautyKnowing God through beauty, not just truth or goodness“De Colores”—the joy of all the colorsAdrienne Marie Brown and Community Social TransformationPeter Heltzel and “revolutionary friendships”“We're a very graceless society.

Thriving is collective.We all have a core psychological drive to belong and be received and contribute in our families and communities.Caring for our emotional brains and bodies is essential in seeking collective thriving.Thriving involves a necessary commitment to justice, and is beautifully captured by terms like shalom and concertación.The Christian tradition of compassion and concern for the marginalized can pull us out of our heads, out of our tunnel vision, and move us toward the transformation of society.Communicating a common dream or shared vision can help us move from an atomic individualistic mentality to loving community and reconciliation.

In this workshop, Karin discussed her career where she trained in Argentina, then came to Palo Alto to learn at the Mental Research Institute forty years ago. She discussed the place the MRI has in the history of developing family and systemic therapy. She worked with Paul Watzlawick, Dick Fisch, and John Weakland, and eventually became the Director of the Brief Therapy Center, a title she still holds. In 1966, the group was interested in seeing what type of changes they could help create within 10 sessions (hence the term brief), which was very different from the prevailing psychoanalytic approach during the time. She discussed how the approach based in systems theory, but is a minimalistic family therapy/systems therapy way of promoting change, where they don't need the whole system to be present in the office for change to occur. Interactions are always in the clinician's mind, understanding who is this effecting, how is someone reacting to this, which allows you to intervene with the person who is the most motivated for change in the system. She explained that they're not necessarily trying to achieve perfection, but instead help the person in pain and asking for help at the time to get out of a hole. She shared the quote by John Weakland that “when you have a problem, life is the same damn thing over and over again, and when you no longer have a problem, life is one damn thing after another”. Karin discussed identifying whom to focus on in the therapy by identifying who is most in pain and therefore is most motivated to work with the therapist to promote a positive change. If working with a family, the therapist might not put all of their energy into the child since they have the least power in the system, and the most motivated one in the family might be the parent, so they will be the one you need to engage to make change. She also pointed out that they go straight into the problem that brought clients in, and stay in the here and now, and try not to “open doors” to the past, which is what allows the work to be so brief. We discussed how the approach postulates that the attempted solution is what has become the problem, keeping the system stuck, so instead, having the individual, couple or family do the 180 degree opposite of that, even if it goes against common sense, then observing what happens and discussing in the following session. As opposed to many other models of systemic and family therapy, the Brief Therapy Center works with fewer people and change happens outside of the session. She pointed out that they were able to make significant change in a matter of ten sessions, with the average amount of sessions being six. Karin explained that there have been many different models and techniques developed over the years, although the simplicity of the Brief Therapy approach still stands as an effective treatment and could be the key to reduce the mental health crisis in the U.S. currently. Karin Schlanger, LMFT was the Director of the Brief Therapy Center in MRI since 2008 until the sale of the building in 2019. She continues to be the director of the BTC currently. She has worked as a psychologist, supervisor in the Brief Therapy Model and professor at several universities internationally. She studied Psychology in the Universidad of Buenos Aires – Argentina and graduated in 1982. She arrived at the MRI in 1983 having heard of the work of John Weakland, Dick Fisch and Paul Wazlawick and worked with them until the end of their days. In 1990, she opened the Centro Latino de Terapia Breve to do research on how this pure American model of Problem solving can be applied in other cultures. This project continues today, working with low income Spanish-speaking families, who are at the worse end of society's inequality. In 2012, she founded a NGO, Room to Talk, to offer psychological services to students, families and school staff at the school. She was the Executive Director. She has been a professor in several local Universities — University of San Francisco, Stanford University, School of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, College of Notre Dame de Namur, and other Universities of Spain — Valencia International University, Universidad de Abat Oliva, Institute Systemic de Barcelona. She is a supervisor in the Hospital of San Pau, in Barcelona. Karin is the author of a book that has been translated to 5 languages, and the author of many articles and chapters of lots of books throughout the years. Also, in 2012, she has started the Grupo Palo Alto Internacional, which was officially launched in Mexico, January – 2016. Currently, Karin trains and supervises therapists internationally as well as locally through county mental health programming. She provides trainings through the https://www.brieftherapycenter.org/
In this quick conversation Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson explore a thought-provoking quote from Alexia Salvatierra, a professor at Centro Latino at Fuller Theological Seminary. The quote, "If you don't listen, you can't see what God is doing," sparks a deep discussion on the importance of listening and discerning God's work in the world. Tod shares insights on the implications of this quote for leadership, the significance of listening to others, and the challenges of opening ourselves up to different perspectives.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Alexia Salvatierra in Episode 101: Gratitude, Grief, and Guilt--the Church After Covid:"If you don't listen, you can't see what God is doing."THIS EPISODE"S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE"Listening is crucial for discerning and seeing what God is doing.Rather than being vision casters, leaders should focus on hearing the voice of God and sensing His direction.Listening to others, including neighbors and different perspectives, helps in recognizing God's work, especially in our blind spots.It's important to force ourselves to open up to other voices and perspectives to better hear and see what God is doing.To better discern God's leading, it's essential to stop and listen, particularly to those who have been ignored.Download the FREE course, Becoming Leaders of Shalom.

What do you think the most valuable characteristic is to have in practice right now? My answer might surprise you. I think it's being really amazing at coping with change! Practice and life as we know it, is changing so rapidly right now that at times it's hard to keep up. What used to work yesterday, doesn't today. If you don't like change or if you're stubborn in your ways and like to do things the way they always used be done then I'm guessing that life is probably quite tricky for you at the moment. My guest on the podcast today is Yoda of change. His name is Miguel Cruz and he's in his 40th year as a chiropractor and he's continuing to break practice records…amazing!
