Mai Shaheen is a Palestinian peace activist and therapist who uses nonviolent communication in her work with victims of trauma. In a conversation both frank and inspirational, she talks about how nonviolent dialogue brings Israelis, Palestinians and internationals together for healing, solidarity and nonviolent action. A founder of the Satyam Homeland Peace Center in the Occupied West Bank, she discusses the growing number of Palestinians and Israelis taking action together even as conditions in the West Bank worsen for Palestinians.
