Prompt-- Love and Power Intro -Chapter 2

Think about what this paradigm of love and power, as described by Kahane means to you. Is it helpful to you in understanding anything in your own experience? ––use the text to illustrate the connections that you make. Beyond or maybe instead of any personal relevance, think about the ways in which Kahane uses this paradigm to interpret his personal experience and that of working with larger groups. He writes,

"I could see that almost all of the leaders I was working with around the world had stepped forward to engage in these collective challenge-addressing processes because they saw themselves as part of unhealthy and unwhole systems that they felt responsibility to contribute to repairing." (35)

Although you have just begun your work in the community and have only recently met some of the community leaders engaged in this work, can you apply the paradigm to what you have learned so far from this experience and these people? As always, use the text to back-up your points.
