Kristin welcomes Rita Marie Johnson, a renowned peace educator and creator of the Connection Practice, who shares her profound journey from a childhood spiritual vision to developing practical tools for empathy and insight. Rita Marie recounts her transformative moment at age 10 when she received divine guidance to "work for peace," and later describes her breakthrough realization that empathy and insight are like soulmates that need each other for authentic connection. Through the beautiful Costa Rican legend of Razor and real-world applications in schools, she demonstrates how the Connection Practice combines heart coherence with nonviolent communication to create emotional safety and transform relationships, offering hope and practical wisdom for our divided world.
