“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.
The first session will focus on the inner structure of our Holy Wisdom Community of Communities. This structure, of course, could be adapted within essentially any organization.
Foremost is the necessity of identifying the elements, skills, talents and processes needed from members as together they cultivate the mission, vision and values integral to this living community. Let’s look at how each community within the integral group will share the responsibility or empower their members to achieve their purpose and to support the mission, vision and values of Holy Wisdom and to empower others beyond the monastery.
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.
