Let Your Life Speak: A day of Reflection based on the Work of Parker Palmer
What can you expect from this day?
Karen and Anne will create a quiet, focused, safe and disciplined space a circle of trust where the noise within us and around us can subside and we can begin to hear our own inner voice. In large group, smaller break-out groups, and solitary settings, each of us will engage stories from our own journeys and insights from poets, storytellers, and various wisdom traditions. Deep listening in solitude and in community strengthens the vital relationship between the inner life of our mind and spirit and the outer life of our work and service in the world.
