Podcast appearances and mentions of miki kashtan

The way groups are working together is not working. But introducing new structures alone is not enough. Tamila and Simon talk to me about how we need to develop our ways of seeing, being and working together if we want to act in the highest possible alignment with our vision. A key part of this is using the lens of Power, Belonging and Justice (PBJ) and strengthening our muscle in Conflict Resilience. Strap in for some powerful wisdom, giggles and deep learning. Harmonize is a worker-owned cooperative that helps groups work together through Comprehensive Organizational Development and Analysis (CODA™). Tamila and Simon are the co-founders of Harmonize.

Miki is the seed founder and Emma a founding member of the Nonviolent Global Liberation community (NGL), which runs entirely as a gift economy. They and NGL as a whole are knee-deep in visionary experimentation about what it would take to realign humanity with life through online and community living experiments. Even without bosses we can still struggle to embody new ways of being together because of our internalised systems of patriarchal conditioning and capitalist thinking. The capacity lens gives us a way to examine this and make more conscious choices together. As Miki puts it, “Everyone who gets into it falls in love with it, because it moves us from rigidity to flexibility, from predictability to emergence, from coercion to willingness, from judgement to tenderness. Who wouldn't want that?”  An incredibly valuable episode if you are wrestling with topics like fairness, how to distribute tasks and roles, leadership in a bossless environment, how to avoid burnout or how to deal with overwhelm in the face of huge societal challenges.

"As a facilitator, if I'm noticing that the patterns in the way that the group is working is not helping the group move forward towards its goals, it's usually useful to say something about that. In a way that the group can hear, in a way that isn't shutting people down, it isn't demeaning."Paul & Karen discuss the impact a facilitator's words can have.Miki Kashtan's The Highest Common Denominator

In this week's episode of Nonviolence Radio, Michael and Stephanie speak with members of the Nonviolent Global Liberation community (NGL) about their collective and individual experiments in nonviolence, including the process of building and working within the NGL community. Their commitment and resolve to explore and address all areas of life, from market economies to home life, to the event greater question of what it means to be human and deeply experience our shared humanity, reminds us that to paraphrase NGL's co-founder, Miki Kashtan, that freeing ourselves from our habits and conditioning of violence, to truly build a nonviolent world, requires both "systemic analysis and individual tenderness." 

Ria Baeck and J.D. Nasaw. Ria and J.D. are both coaches and facilitators who combine scientific research of trauma with embodied practices of collective intelligence and wisdom.  In our conversation, we discuss questions like: what does trauma have to do with new ways of working? How can we be more conscious collaborators? What are examples of embodied practices we can use so that our journey of new ways of working is not only an intellectual one? Ria has thirty years of experience as a therapist, and J.D. is particularly interested in the intersection of somatics, self-management, social justice, and regeneration. Both are associates at Greaterthan for which they have developed a course called Trauma Informed Collaboration.

Today I am in conversation with Elisa Rathje of Appleturnover to discuss "what if we shifted to a needs-based economy. I was keen to discuss the economy as it is a recurrent theme when researching root-causes of the climate crisis. Today we have a relaxed conversation covering the following topics: a childhood book inspiring Elisa right now;the challenges inherent in climate activism; the pros and cons of a “climate action roadmap”; the importance of non-violent communication in climate activism; what the term “climate crisis” actually encompasses - defining the problem; the economy as a “root cause” of the climate crisis with reference to Manda Scott and Miki Kashtan's conversation on the Accidental Gods Podcast (link below); Kate Raworth's “Doughnut Economic Model”; How to navigate fear and panic about the climate crises; “Active Hope” online course by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone; The role and impact of scarcity in economics; How the economic system we have in place is an agreed upon story that can be re-written; We synthesise how, in practice, we can challenge the scarcity mindset on individual and collective levels; How universal basic services could be beneficial going forward; The importance of making decisions that factor in the question “does this decision or action regenerate life?”; Some classic band-aid solutions to the climate crisis to watch out for; We sum up our “take-away” learnings from our discussion. Elisa Rathje lives, writes and films the small work at Appleturnover, a small farm on a small island.

I talk to writer and facilitator Miki Kashtan about how capitalism and extractive mindsets cut us off from the natural flow of life.

Miki Kashtan is a “practical visionary”, exploring the application of the principles and tools of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to social transformation. She is an author, certified NVC trainer, and co-founder of Bay Area NVC (baynvc.org). Miki teaches and works with organizations, visionary leaders, activists, and others to support the transition to a world that works for all.She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:That having big practical problems to face will bring us together, against our conditioning towards “scarcity, separation and powerlessness” That finding the noncontroversial “essential nugget” of agreed principles will create goodwill between opposing sides and pave a way to find solutions.That “if you come to a togetherness about solving a problem, it doesn't matter what your opinion is any longer because you know that you have to come up with a solution that isn't going to work only for you.”That collective wisdom will enable us to solve big problems, especially through mutual influencing. “I hear what's important to you. I don't yet know how to do it, but I now care about it and I'm changed.”Resourcesconvergentfacilitation.orgthefearlessheart.orgSelf-study NVC course: Making Life Work. For You. For Everyone.

“Creating the life, relationship, and world we envision one conversation at a time with ourselves and others.”  -- John Kinyon In 1998, John Kinyon had left a graduate program in clinical psychology and was looking around, trying to figure out how he wanted to apply those skills in the world.  He was at a mediation conference and heard a keynote presentation by someone about whom he had not previously heard – Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of the global “nonviolent communication” work. Listening to Rosenberg's insights, he recalls, “my jaw dropped open. This was everything I was looking for.”  Having experimented with different forms of mediation, facilitation, and organizational development, all of which he had found interesting, “something big remained missing. Marshall’s talk pulled together everything I most cared about in what I wanted to do in the world.”  Kinyon embraced full-time communication and conflict resolution work and went on to study closely with Rosenberg for more than a decade. He then helped bring forth the work of nonviolent communication to the practice of mediation, helping establish the field of “nonviolent mediation”: drawing on Rosenberg's NVC tools to mediate conflict within ourselves, to mediate conflict between ourselves and others, and to support mediation trainees who want to become a mediating presence in helping others. By inviting disputants into greater nondual consciousness, Kinyon aims to help them resolve conflicts and to train others to mediate conflicts.  For Kinyon, Rosenberg’s approach to nonviolent communication (NVC) represented a perfect marriage of the two streams of his personal motivation and inspiration:  the work of American psychologist Carl Rogers, to which he had been exposed in grad school and which represented a “simple but powerful way of thinking about therapy and how to be with people”; and the social-political nonviolent change work of Gandhi.  Kinyon had had “no idea how to put those together. Marshall was a perfect fit.”  Kinyon now coaches disputants or trainees in mediation to use mindful empathy to penetrate the positions that appear to conflict until they experience the human needs that animate the conflicting positions. At this deeper level there is no conflict. Both sides share each other’s needs. They just have different beliefs and strategies around meeting those needs. At this unified level, the disputants can access different strategies that meet their needs. His approach provides skills and conversation “maps” for navigating challenges and conflicts, inner and outer, in all aspects of life. Maps, according to Kinyon, put together the language of needs with the skills of empathy. In potentially triggering moments, “all I have to do is remember I have a map, and then I have guidance to navigate through conflict.” Kinyon studied psychology and philosophy while earning his undergraduate degree from the University of San Francisco (and played for USF’s nationally ranked soccer team).  He trained in the clinical psychology graduate program at Penn State University.  During his five years of doctoral study, he worked as a psychotherapist with individuals and groups, and as a research assistant at the Stress and Anxiety Disorders Institute.  After graduate school, John helped launch and develop a small commercial business before discovering Nonviolent Communication (NVC). In 2002, Kinyon, Miki Kashtan and two others co-founded the Bay Area Nonviolent Communication organization (BayNVC), which began and still teaches nonviolent communications at the San Quentin Prison.  In 2003, following a "harrowing" adventure together working with Afghan tribal elders in a refugee camp on the Pakistan border, he and his close colleague Ike Lasater began developing a body of work and training programs based in NVC that came to be called Mediate Your Life (MYL), which for over 10 years offered year-long programs in different parts of the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia.   Kinyon has been studying and practicing mindfulness, meditation, and consciousness traditions (including the poetic tradition) for over 30 years and has used this experience in developing his approach. He lives in the Bay area, and is author of the workbook Mindfulness in Conversation: Creating the Life and World You Want One Conversation at a Time.  He also is co-author of several books, including Choosing Peace: New Ways to Communicate to Reduce Stress, Create Connection, and Resolve Conflict; From Conflict to Connection: Transforming Difficult Conversations into Peaceful Resolutions; and When Your Mind Sabotages Your Dreams: Turning Your Critical Internal Voices Into Collaborative Allies, What is the transformative insight triggered by Rosenberg’s work in NVC?  It is, Kinyon says, that “everything we think and do is about trying to meet a need, and whatever we are doing is the best way we know to meet the need.” That’s perhaps the premise. So then, he says, “the goal is to become conscious of our needs and of what we want to do to meet them, and then to learn if our actions worked or not (did they meet our needs?). The goal is to become conscious of our needs and choices, and to learn from those choices – to mourn, celebrate, and learn.” Join us in conversation with this believer that conflict, like fire, does not have to be destructive -- with the right tools.

Paul Samuel Dolman welcomes non-violent communications advocate and consultant Miki Kashtan to the What Matters Most podcast. The post Miki Kashtan #725 appeared first on Paul Samuel Dolman.

Sally speaks with Paulette Bray-Narai, a certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) instructor about how we can reframe the challenges we find in life through the practice of NVC.NVC was developed by Dr Marshall Rosenberg in the US in the 1960's and has been used since that time to bring groups with vastly opposing views together to form peaceful agreements. The NVC process has 4 main steps:1. When faced with a situation, observe what is happening objectively.2. Sense your feelings in response to the situation.3. Connect your feelings with a need.4. Make a request (of yourself or the other person), without having attachment to your particular request.This process is described in full in Dr Rosenberg's book "Non-Violent Communication".In this podcast we examine some common statements that can lead to disagreement, and then reframe these statements using NVC. Through this process we come to see how judgements in the use of certain words close down curiosity and open-minded discussion, and how by contrast the NVC process keeps seemingly opposing parties engaged with finding solutions.Also mentioned is the work of US based NVC trainer, Miki Kashtan who can be found at www.thefearlessheart.org.Paulette can be found at:www.expresspeace.comandwww.byronbayhealthycommunication.com.au/Produced and presented by Sally CusackGuest: Paulette Bray-NaraiCopyright 2020 PBB Media and Sally CusackAll rights reserved.www.pbbmedia.org

White privilege is one of the strongest pillars that upholds racism. In her article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” Peggy McIntosh describes white privilege as: “An invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was “meant” to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks.” If you are white there are privileges that you enjoy each and every day because of the color or your skin. These privileges do not mean that your life hasn’t been challenging or that you are not a hard worker, what it means is that the challenges you’ve faced have not been caused by the color of your skin.   Confronting privilege is an uncomfortable process, but when you choose to face that discomfort head on you will find liberation, not only for you but for the People of Color who have been disenfranchised by the system that has granted you privilege.    In this episode I get down to the brass tacks of white privilege and answer all of your burning questions: What is white privilege?  What are some examples of what white privilege looks like in everyday life? How can you use it to make change? What do you do if someone you know or love denies that they have privilege?  I encourage you to take a deep breath, listen with an open mind, and lean into the discomfort.

Miki Kashtan is an author and an international teacher and practitioner of Nonviolent Communication. In this conversation we talk about the three different places shifts need to occur in order for a self-managing human system to thrive, and how we can start to talk about needs more in order to awaken the collective responsibility of groups of people working together. She also shares the five core systems we need to redesign in our organisations as well as the mindset shifts and dialogue skills we need to develop in order to collaborate on a deeper, more purposeful level.

On this episode Erik is joined by Miki Kashtan, author and NVC teacher. They discuss the problems of exchange in general as a way of fulfilling human needs, the issues with reciprocity, and what fulfilling needs via “flow” and “natural abundance” means.Miki talks about some of the more interesting and unique studies that she has seen about societies from the very distant past and what kinds of lessons they may hold for how we should organize societies today. They talk about why in society we are always rationing, whether we realize it or not, and are usually determining how to allocate scarce resources by wealth rather than by need. Miki talks about the idea that shame was once a useful emotion that has been co-opted by the powers that be to keep people in line.She also talks about the distinction between governments and governance, why we need to innovate on innovation, and why she never does anything for the money, but instead does things for the relationships.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.

Wir sprechen über einige Pioneers of Change: Fritjof Capra, Miki Kashtan, Luisa Neubauer; und damit über Menschen, die einen (wie wir finden positiven) Wandel herbeiführen. Daneben gibt's auch Bewegungen in die andere Richtung. Wir navigieren durch kaltes Gewässer, in dem es glücklicherweise noch Eisberge gibt.

In this episode I’m speaking with Miki Kashtan. Through her work with Nonviolent Communication, movement building, and organization design, Miki speaks into the intersection of social and psychological transformation with a rare blend of pragmatic heartfulness. We talk about how economic and cultural systems inform our psychology, why none of us can know what ‘human nature’ is, the necessity of communities of practice for those who seek to transform their consciousness, how to practice full spectrum nonviolence, the unsettling power of moral authority, and the central significance of connecting with and expressing our biological needs.

Host Timothy Regan welcomes Nonviolent Communication leader and teacher Miki Kashtan, who presents her clear and liberating guidance on how to deal with the reality that we have more than someone else.  It's hard to face the truth of our privileges and unearned advantages, and when we do face them, there are at least 4 negative traps that we humans fall into. Miki describes these 4 traps, and provides positive responses for each of them, and she offers processes that can free our thinking and our creativity so we can participate in a world beset with painful divisions in life-giving ways.

Czy rzeczywiście można uwierzyć w to, że nie potrzebujesz studiów? Wystarczy TUversity?  Do takiego myślenia próbuje mnie przekonać mój dzisiejszy gość Kacper Lemiesz.Projekt Kacpra zrzesza ludzi, którzy zauważyli że świat zmienia się szybciej niż uniwersytety. Zaczęli więc projektować edukację teraźniejszości. Założyciel jest tak samo wyjątkowy, jak jego projekt. W wieku 22 lat został chyba najmłodszym wykładowcą w Polsce. Pomimo tego, że porzucił studia. Będzie wykładał na Collegium Da Vinci w Poznaniu.Porzucił studia, ale nie porzucił nauki. Wraz z grupą podobnych zapaleńców stworzył projekt alternatywy dla wyższej edukacji. TUversity powstało z potrzeby by być szczęśliwym dziś, jak i w przyszłości. Jak sami piszą na stronie: "Realizują marzenia. Uczą (się) hakowania doświadczeń. Kwestionują to ‘co trzeba’ i ‘jak można’. Docierają tam, gdzie się nie da i kreują to, co niemożliwe. Ich celem jest stworzenie najlepszej przestrzeni dla rozwoju siebie i świata.TUversity to szkoła jutra. To miejsce, gdzie kierunek się odkrywa, a rozwój nigdy się nie kończy""Niczego nie chcemy uczyć. Chcemy by ludzie się uczyli!"Natknąłem się na nich, gdy na FB pokazał mi się event zawierający słowo "changemaker", które oznacza światozmieniacza i od 2 lat jest dla mnie "triggerem", który wyzwala we mnie emocje prowadzące do myślenia o tym, jak ja sam mogę się przyczynić do pozytywnego wpływu na planetę i ludzi wśród których żyję.Organizatorzy TUversity pomagają takim jak i ja i mam nadzieję,że i Ty odkryjesz tam swoją ścieżkęChcesz coś zmienić w swoim życiu?Czujesz, że edukacja dzieje się TU i teraz?Szukasz ludzi, którzy chcą się ciągle rozwijać?Chcesz pokazać innym, że można inaczej się uczyć?CHCESZ DOŁĄCZYĆ?KLIKNIJ I ZAPISZ SIĘTU changemakers program to pięciomiesięczna przestrzeń, w której będziesz razem (się) uczyć: zdobywać doświadczenia, odbywać staże w różnych organizacjach, tworzyć projekty & startupy, uczestniczyć w warsztatach, spotykać z mentorami, budować markę osobistą i tworzyć indywidualne portfolio. Uczestnicy będą chodzić na wydarzenia i je organizować, konsultować wypracowane projekty z ekspertami i planować dalszą ścieżkę rozwoju."Nie powinniśmy szukać skilla, tylko powodu do działania"Ich celem jest stworzenie społeczności uczącej się.Dodatkowo:● polecisz razem na tydzień do Bukeresztu, poznać Universitatea Alternativă● dostaniesz wsparcie mentora osobistego, który pomoże nam zrozumieć swoje potrzeby i talenty● stworzysz własne projekty przy wykorzystaniu metody design thinking i lean startup● będziesz mieć dostęp do przestrzeni coworkingowej w HubHub (świetne miejsce!)● zbudujesz swoje indywidualne portfolio● stworzysz społeczność ludzi wspierających się w nigdy się niekończącym rozwoju● zbadasz własne kompetencje● wyjedziesz na pięć dni w Bieszczady● wspólnie będziesz marzyć i tworzyć najlepszą przestrzeń do rozwoju siebie i świataZ wywiadu z Kacprem dowiesz się m.in:Czy studia są potrzebne, by realizować marzenia?Jak powstał pomysł na TUversity?Czym jest TUversity?Kto może studiować w TUversity?Jaki uzyskasz korzyści z uczestnictwa w programie TU ChangemakersNa czym polega Teoria Kompasu Setha Godina?Jak Kacper 3 razy porzucił studia?Czego można się nauczyć na TUversity?Kiedy ludzi mózg najlepiej się uczy?Czym są organizacje turkusowe?Na czym polega "komunikacja bez przemocy"?Jak wygląda dzień na TUversity?Dlaczego lepiej nie mieć pomysłu na siebie, gdy zaczynasz TUversity?Ile kosztuje TUversity?Jak TUversity pomoże zbudować markę osobistą?Jak TUversity wykorzysta blockchaina do oceny efektów?Ważne linki:www.tuversity.plhttps://www.hubhub.com/pl/Miki Kashtan- http://thefearlessheart.org/"Pracować inaczej" - Frederic Laloux Whiplash: How to Survive Our Faster Futurehttps://medium.com/@kacperlemieszZapraszam Cię do słuchania Podcastu LEPIEJ TERAZ na iTunes i android-owych appkach do podcastów. np. PlayerFM. Jeśli Ci się podobało, wstaw proszę pozytywną recenzję na iTunesDziękuję.Radek BudnickiPostaw pierwszy krok do zmiany, zaczynając od wysłuchania historii ludzi, którzy zainspirują Cię do stworzenia wymarzonego życia!Jeśli potrzebujesz indywidualnej pomocy, zacznij tę zmianę wraz ze mną.Kliknij banner poniżej i zapisz się na DARMOWĄ konsultację Pomogę Ci !

In this time of many scary changes in the world, are you feeling powerless?  Would you like to be able to recognize the power you do have and be able to use it more wisely and compassionately?  How can we take leadership to create a world that works for everyone?  Host Marlena Willis talks with Miki Kashtan, cofounder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC), international teacher of Nonviolent Communication and the author of three books and an ongoing blog, on how we can use the skills of Nonviolent Communication to empower ourselves and then use that power in ways that empower others, even when we are not in formal positions of leading.

This Monday May 23rd from 1-2pm, KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine talks to internationally known NonViolent Communication facilitator Miki Kashtan about her vision of a world where we can cooperate more fully with each other and where all our needs are attended to which is meticulously described in her inspiring new book “Reweaving Our Human Fabric-Working Together to Create a Nonviolent Future.” Buddhist teacher Joanna Macy describes this book as a brave and brilliant book that shows how the radical interdependence of all things can be expressed in a more grounded and practical way for social as well as personal transformation. Her innovation in social change theory follows in the the lineage of Gandhi and MLK and move beyond nonviolent communication as a personal development resource to help transform the larger systems and norms that govern our world.
