November 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,

Thursday, December 10 MAY MERCY PREVAIL ON EARTH - INTERFAITH EVENING OF PRAYER

May Mercy Prevail on Earth 

 

Interfaith Evening of Prayer - Christ the King Passionist Retreat Center

 

The Passionist Religious Community of Citrus Heights joins with the Interfaith/Ecumenical community of Greater Sacramento as together we offer prayers and blessings for a more merciful World.

We gather as Francis, Bishop of Rome, inaugurates the Year of Mercy.  All of our Faith Traditions have something important to say about mercy. Tonight we gather to glean the wisdom of those Traditions as we seek to be a people of mercy, compassion, and respect.
