Wisdom Emerging:
Finding the Intersection of Leadership,
Spirituality, and Courageous Action
January 26 — 29, 2012
With Lauren Artress and Alan Briskin, and Special Guest Presenter, Angeles Arrien, Author & Cultural Anthropologist
These chaotic times create a unique opportunity for learning and transformation. The worlds of science and the realms of mystery are reaching a new synthesis. Groups and networks are forming spontaneously—and consciously— around the world to sense the rhythm of the future and to discern what is needed.
We will use the Labyrinth in Service of Personal and Collective Wisdom Psycho-spiritual maturation does not occur in a linear direction but rather in an invisible spiral pattern encountered through chance meetings, dreams, and other synchronicities in the journey to become more conscious beings. Join us as we learn about the nature of social fields and discover new ways of experiencing ourselves with others, subject to a larger whole as co-creators of our future together.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- Through poetry, contemplative practice, and expressive arts, we will become aware of what it means to thinkand feel through the lens of metaphorical awareness.
- Through walking the labyrinth, we will open a portal to engage the whole body and the collective imagination.
- Through dialogue, we will experience the richness and joy of each other’s unique gifts and perspectives.
OUR FOCUS:
- Increasing our capacity for disciplined attention and inner knowing.
