[...] What are the keys to empathic interviewing? How do you draw out and listen for unstated meaning and deeper understanding? How do you prompt an interviewee to reflect and think? This workshop is for doctors and nurses, researchers, artists, journalists, leaders, and designers seeking to enhance their empathic interviewing skills, and for potential employers who seek to get the most out of their recruitment interviews. NPR correspondent Jacki Lyden also will invite us to consider the ethical implications of utilizing interviews and how to maintain the integrity of a story when one can only share shorter excerpts. 2011 Curb Creative Campus Bootcamp [...]

Why is it when one car starts to honk its horn, all the cars stuck bheind it start honking their horns as well? This happened today right as I got home, set my bags down, sat down to relax a bit, and then I hear the constant honking of one car after another because one car was stuck in the middle of the street stalled. The person in the first car got out and actually tried to help the person in the stalled car however was unsuccessful. The honks continue. I look out my window and as the cars continue honking they start reversing down the street. Finally all five or six cars reversed their way out and went on their way. About one to two minutes later I hear one car honk its horn followed by many more cars again. The whole process of the stalled car and the people stuck bheind it continues again. This went on for about ten minutes. The sound of more than one car honking its horn repeatedly truly agitates me. It sounds like a loud blaring repeated flat annoying pitch over and over and over again. So I ask myself why don’t I think this sound is beautiful? Is it because I’m not in control of when the sound starts and when the sound stops? Is it because I can’t control pitch or volume? Then I got to thinking…maybe it’s because when many cars are honking at the same time it usually means people are agitated or stressed because they are in a hurry and need to be somewhere. So if that is the case, does that mean the sound makes me removed from my once calm state, and relaxation of being home to now a nervous, stressed feeling? Does this sound give me anxiety? I also ask myself, could it be such an annoying sound to me because in all truth, what is the honking going to do? Is it really going to help the person in the stalled car be able to move again?The funny thing is…when I’m one of those people stuck in the car traffic I might find myself honking my horn once or twice too. So if that’s the case, does the sound of numerous honking cars only bother me when I’m not involved? Maybe I just need to take a moment and understand the frustration of these people, and that will allow me to tolerate the sound of honking cars and its meaning.~Elizabeth C.

I think that meditation will prove to be a porfewul tool in our understanding of the body and in healing practices. I think art and creative practices also provide the body with the same stress reduction and healing energy that meditation does it is in a different form. Most artists I know do some sort of breathing and mind settling practice before they can start creating. We remain healthier for meditating, even if we do succumb to disease or long term illness. The cure maybe that we live fully whether or not we are fully healthy or coping with health challenges. Thanks for your insight and input!
