Cedar has been passionate about working with issues of power and ethics for 25 years. She believes that embodied learning—learning from the inside out—is both the most engaging and the most effective way of learning.

Right Use of Power is truly about discerning and learning how to be in right relationship with power (our ability to have influence). How do our points of view about social issues get formed, and what kind of relationship with power is useful in being open to shifting them? Tom Cosgrove will ask us a couple of questions, show a video clip, tell us about “parasocial bonding,” and share his experience in creating and producing a very remarkable made-for-tv show called, “Divided We Fall: Unity Without Tragedy.”
