In a weekend retreat organized by our Indian volunteers, a senior tech leader remarked at the end -- "I have been on many vacations and more recently -- stay-cations, work-cations, etc. But perhaps this is my first time doing what I may call a soul-cation." Well, what touches your soul, like that? The team thinks that when small acts of kindness start compounding in a space, it invokes a deep remembrance in each human being. More in this blog post here - 40 Strangers, 1 Circle, 1 Intelligence. And their next retreat "Crafting a New Story" is now accepting applications. |

Some of you might remember the "Priceless Pricing" pod -- if not, check out Colin's insightful recap of the questions it raised. :) This is the first time I am offering my course under "Priceless Pricing" -- something I learned from ServiceSpace! No financial contribution is required to join and participate in the six-week program. At the end of the program, you will have an opportunity to give financially any amount that feels good to you, from a little to infinity. The only requirements to join are an open heart, an open mind, the commitment to show up every week for the work, and the willingness to step into the sacred and joyful practice of deepening your own Wisdom while holding space for everyone else's. |

It's a treat to see Stephen Lewis share one of his favorite quotes by Howard Thurman: Now there is something in everybody that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in other people... I must wait and listen for the sound of the genuine in you. I must wait. For if I cannot hear it, then in my scheme of things, you are not ever present. So as I live my life then, this is what I am trying to fulfill...that I’m secure because I hear the sound of the genuine in myself, and having learned to listen to that, I can become quiet enough, still enough to hear the sound of the genuine in you. Now if I hear the sound of the genuine in me and if you hear the sound of the genuine in you it is possible for me to go down in [my spirit] and come up in [your spirit]. So that when I look at myself through your eyes having made that pilgrimage, I see in me what you see in me. [Then] the wall that separates and divides will disappear, and we will become one because of the sound of the genuine makes the same music...There is in every person that which waits, waits, waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in herself. There is that in every person that waits—waits and listens—for the sound of the genuine in other people. And when these two sounds come together, this is the music God heard when He said, "Let us make [humanity] in our image." --Howard Thurman In case you don't know about Stephen, you might enjoy this recent conversation. |
