Formation

Season of Civility aims to find common ground
Then please join us for three nonpartisan conversations Sundays at 11:30 in the library on October 14, 21 and November 4, led by Carol Smith and Margaret Irwin. We will introduce some of the "habits of the heart" from Parker Palmer's book, Healing the Heart of Democracy. These habits are useful not only in political discourse, but in any kind of human interaction.
The themes for the three sessions are:
1) Understanding that we're all in this together
2) Cultivating the ability to hold tension in life-giving ways
3) Strengthening our capacity to create community
Good news for busy people: It's not necessary to have read the book in order to profit from these sessions. If there is enough interest, six monthly evening sessions based on Palmer's book will be offered in the new year.
For further information, call or write Margaret Irwin, 833-0843
