What if poetry could unlock our potential to heal? Jim Elsaesser, a healing poetry guide who has facilitated workshops for survivors of sexual and domestic violence, for girls at the School for Leadership Afghanistan (SOLA), and more, joins me to talk about the connective, spirit-opening power of sharing and writing poetry in community. He insists that, whether you’ve ever written a poem or not, poetry is in you and it can walk you back home to yourself.
Learn more about SOLA in this recent 60 Minutes segment, “Daring to Educate Afghanistan’s Girls.” (https://www.cbsnews.com/video/sola-afghanistan-education-60-minutes-video-2023-02-26/)

Building an Unprecedented Future with Jason Bryant
Jason Bryant, the Director of Restorative Programs at CROP Organization, shares what it’s like to experience marriage and fatherhood from across a prison visiting room table. He talks openly about personal responsibility and how it was his commitment to serve that transformed his relationship to himself and his community, and propelled him to the governor’s attention, who ordered his immediate release in 2020 for his life-changing work while incarcerated. Everyday, Jason takes new steps to build his and our collective “unprecedented future.” It’s impossible to not be moved and inspired by his energy.

Healing our Discontent with Michael Hoffner
After hitting rock bottom repeatedly, Michael Hoffner discovered the secret to his healing that he had been missing: deep spiritual communion and belonging. Today, he is the founder and Executive Director of the Community Growth Center in Long Island, NY, a non-profit center for spiritual and personal growth. Our conversation explores disconnection as the source of our discontent, our inherent worthiness, and the root of healing.
