the urgency of loving; trying to understand our own

is what we hear. What we do is who we are.” Robert
McAfee

long walking to prevent recidivism and encourage
strength and support for those who need it. If you are
not able to walk, just encourage participation.”
• “Our kaupapa is “inclusiveness!!!”

revenge. It requires empathising with the fears and
unmet needs that provide the impetus for people to
attack each other.” Marshall Rosenberg
