"Love is listening, observing, validating and empathizing."  In this TEDx talk, educator and "empathetic first responder" Catherine Cadden shows us, through personal stories, that we can all access empathetic connection with another human being at any moment by responding to their basic needs of respect, compassion, interdependence, trust, and harmony. Cadden has chosen to work in the education system because she â€‹believes that children who have the opportunity to practice peace in the classroom will effect the change we need to create a peaceful society. Her work now extends to 6 continents and thousands of people supporting and inspiring the practice of being nonviolent.
