VIDEO FROM INTERFAITH NIGHT OF MUSIC AND THE SPOKEN WORD
If you missed the Interfaith Night of Music and the Spoken Word, SacFaithTV filmed the event and it will be broadcast on Cable Channels 20 (Comcast) and 19 (SureWest) in Sacramento County on Monday, November 2 at 9 pm. Some great video from outside of St. Francis Parish Church is included in that hour-long program because of a new camera drone, as well as traditional video and audio works inside the church done by the TV station professionals.  You can also watch the video on you.tube or see some still photos of the event in the ICGS Photo Gallery.

November 6-7, 13-14 DYNAMIC DIALOGUE INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOPS
Dear Ones:
 
Just wanted to send a reminder that we are offering the next Dynamic Dialogue Introductory workshops soon.  The next dates for all the components of the Introduction are Friday and Saturday November 6-7 and 13-14, 2015 in Sacramento.
 
We have been working with this new material for the past year.  The evaluations have be excellent.  Below I have provided a brief  description of why we developed Dynamic Dialogue™
 
Why Bread of Life Developed Dynamic Dialogue™
 
Dynamic Dialogue is the new Dialogue program offered by the Bread of Life Center. With a mission of offering practices, skills and processes that transform individuals, organizations and communities, we realized it was time to evolve a 'next generation' understanding of key components in the work of dialogue.
 
This awareness emerged from a combination of the evaluations and feedback of participants in the Dialogue programs we had offered since 2002* with new learning from the maturing community of regional practitioners who pointed to unmet needs for them and the people they work with. 
 
We felt a need to provide a fresh practice framework that:
·        Meets a broader range of needs and settings than we had found possible in earlier work
·       Provides a common language that is accessible to a variety of audiences
·       Helps practitioners set goals for themselves within an evolving practice that holds the creative tension between the need for consistency and integrity with the need for flexibility to evolve, adapt and grow the practice in new ways.
 
We believe Dynamic Dialogue achieves these three goals without losing the integrity, authenticity and values that are core to healthy Dialogue practice. Dialogue at its best allows new understandings, freer ways of relating, and creative new actions to emerge among individuals and groups facing into the complex challenges of our time.
 
We are delighted to offer this work and welcome your questions or requests for more information.
 
As always if you do not want to receive information about these workshops please let me know.  Thanks,
