Many of our workshop leaders are able to give voice to both the ineffable mystery behind our existence and the concrete problems we are facing on the planet. They speak what needs to be spoken with a strength that touches us deeply. We are proud to offer a forum for them to share their wisdom with all who join us here. It's easy to forget about wisdom, to get caught up in the daily business of how much we are ahead or behind, how our buildings are doing, whether we have enough money to hire another staff person, or how we interact with each other. It is easy to forget that we share something vital, something profound.
