Imagine each person leaving a trail of thread behind them with each step and each breath, he instructed, that intersects with everyone and everything they encounter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur earth is a tightly woven ball of yarn with layers 7,000 miles deep,\u201d he said. \u201cAmongst this giant ball of thread are bright streaks of color, the threads of peacebuilders, lovers, dreamers and healers. Weaving bright and bold and beautiful light into our threads of connection, we are remarkably beautiful people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wima Ranasinghe<\/strong>, who traveled from Sri Lanka to earn an MA in conflict transformation, recounted meeting her classmates \u2014 her \u201cfellow travelers\u201d \u2014 in August 2022 for the first time. Since that first meeting, she said, they\u2019ve enjoyed parties, sunset walks, clothing swaps, bounce house fun, hikes, coffee hours, movie nights, ping pong tournaments and basketball games together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the last 21 months, we all have become each other\u2019s study buddies, walking buddies, weeping buddies and, sometimes, drinking buddies,\u201d Ranasinghe said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She expressed gratitude for her friends and to the many teachers, practitioners and supporters in CJP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve undergone a process of learning, unlearning, and relearning, which has allowed us to see perspectives from multiple dimensions, and still, I feel it&#8217;s only a start,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharon McKenna<\/strong>, an MA in transformational leadership graduate, spoke about the difference between transformational and transactional leadership. Transactional leadership is about cost benefit, she explained, while transformational leadership is about motivation and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I got a bunch of prior degrees, and every one of them was transactional,&#8221; she said. \u201cI paid for a class, I got a class. That\u2019s not what I\u2019ve experienced here at CJP.
