From Saybrook Executive Faculty member, Dr. Ruth Richards:

This is a talk I gave on 5-17-11 for AHIMSA:
AGE OF EMPATHY? NEW VIEWS OF HEALTH, HUMAN NATURE, AND RELATIONAL CREATIVITY.

Empathy is an essential yet often unsung human quality
--creative, connecting, powerful. We consider
its vital role for humans individually and together, for our health, our progress, our development.
And perhaps even for our species survival.

Dr. Abbe Blum did a meditation with us at the end. If you open the pdf file for the SLIDES in another window, to go through with the video, it works well.
