The essential skill of working with others always begins with you

This video reminds me of the opportunity we had last year to work with some strong, Indigenous male youth at the Victoria youth detention center.

Although the youth had experienced much trauma, they were especially receptive to the workshops that focused on self, meditation, song, and creativity.

Working with others is possibly the most difficult of the essential skills to genuinely explore because it  begins with the examination of ourselves.

This video is about monks teaching meditation to youth who are incarcerated:
