“Our goal is to create a Beloved Community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” – Martin Luther King Jr
Communities of Empowerment
We invite you to join us for Communities of Empowerment, a 5-session series to explore what is evolving in our Community of Communities at Holy Wisdom. We are all interconnected.
In the very first presentation we focused on the structure needed to form communities of empowerment. The next presentations dealt with the formation of a person’s world view and the transformation that results in growth and development, let us say, their personal evolution. The third presentation took another step in the growth process or evolution of our adult faith. This current presentation looks at the leadership characteristics necessary to mold a community of empowerment. How will a leader motivate, encourage and involve the members of that community, whatever their role? The individuals in the communities of communities can be encouraged in their own transformation as well as the transformation of the monastery and beyond. That is evolution of the spiritual person within whatever communities they are part of.
These presentations are for all members of our Holy Wisdom Monastery communities beginning on Feb. 15. All sessions will be held at Holy Wisdom Monastery from 10:00-11:30 am but will be recorded for future use. Each session will have a separate registration form. There is no charge to participants for the sessions. You are invited to stay after for midday prayer and lunch. If you are staying for lunch, we ask that you contact Brooke Livingston (blivingston@holywisdommonastery.org, 608-836-1631, x100), two weeks before the date you will be joining us for lunch, so she can reserve your meal. Lunch costs $15.50/person.
