![[Guided Meditation] Connecting To Others – Seeing Their Humanity Through Their Ideology](https://kathryncolleen.com/studio/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/img_0721-1080x675.jpg)
A guided meditation supporting the Stage Five task of seeing others’ humanity through their ideology, guiding the listener to imagine how a disliked person’s past and circumstances shaped their beliefs, softening defensiveness into compassion.
A Stage Four teaching on defining your ideology — writing out beliefs about religion, politics, morality, and life, examining why you hold each one, then distilling them into a prioritized set of guiding principles for better decisions.
An essay drawing a parallel between the individual courage to leave a relationship that isn’t working and a society’s courage to demand radical change — arguing that recognizing the need to turn away is a celebrated first step toward something better.
A digital art piece (2015) expressing the political feelings of the time — a sense of being crowded out of one’s own country with little hope of change — later tempered by the realization the artist was not as alone as it had seemed.
