Music, Movies, and Books

Non Violent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg
Paolo Coelhos books
Many different kinds of music...
"Lars and the real girl", "As in Heaven", "Youth", Woody Allen movies - are movies that I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Personal video interviews with more than 100 persons in Israel and Palestine, about personal experiences of the conflict, using Nonviolent Communication (2013-15)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about religion, especially Christianity, and about philosophy. I'm even more interested in and know from own experience about personal development and transformation, how to 'walk the way'.
I know about conflict mediation and peace making, and want to know more about how it is to live in conflict areas.
I am open and curious and want to learn from what others know, especially when it's from their life experience and their own personal stories and what choices they have made in life.
