Searching for the Sound of the Genuine as We Heal Our Divide
Featuring our Keynote Speaker,
|
 So many voices compete in all of our heads for a chance to be on the center stage. How can we determine which ones to heed? Which ones really belong to us? Which ones are genuine reflections of who we are trying to e? How do these voices keep us divided?
Our time together will engage these questions and others that will help to facilitate an inner and outer dialogue that aids in searching for the sound of the genuine and recognizing when it has been identified. This work is crucial to healing the division caused by the gift of our diversity. Participants will be encouraged to reflect upon what is speaking the loudest to them in this present moment and to explore whose voice is speaking and whether it is the one that engages them at the deepest level of their soul. Along with this they will be asked to reflect upon which of the voices have to cease in order to move into deeper community with themselves and others. Howard Thurman, David Whyte, Zora Neale Hurston, Amanda Gorman, and personal stories will be used to help in creating a brave space to contain the participants truth telling. |
