John Paul Lederach considers himself a practitioner-scholar who seeks
to bring integrity, curiosity, and wholeness to the understanding of conflict
transformation and peacebuilding. He suggests that you watch your local pockets.
Where you live is where you will find the people with the courage to reach beyond
divisions and the perseverance to to resist the push and pull of toxicity. Listen to hear
how John Paul describes when these pockets thread a web of creative resistance,
they can face down a civil war. In a nation of millions,it starts with
each and every one of us. And it begins with relationships and conversations.
