What role does dialogue play in fostering a sense of connection and transformation within individuals and communities?
Can dialogue itself be more important than the decisions it leads to?
"So then I have to ask myself, how do I have to be in the world so that I can create more moments like that for myself? And for others? And what [for] the spaces that I create? When I'm creating spaces for groups? Or when I'm entering into spaces that already exist for groups? What can I do to bring that feeling? …that dialog? …that awakeness?" ~ Jesse Danger (11:30)
In this conversation, Craig and Jesse explore the concept of dialogue and its transformative power within communities. They begin by discussing a quote from the book "Dialogue" by Isaac, which suggests that once people experience genuine dialogue, they do not revert to superficial interactions.
