Just finished facilitating a wonderful weekend workshop at a retreat for young activists.
Sean and Sophie, the organizers, are just great. They bring a gentle and determined focus to the connections between our personal awareness and our world-changing work. Rather than choose one or the other - too often the default model - I think they understand that worldly engagement is the context that makes our personal development matter. As, at the same time, personal work makes our ethical engagement more effective, and more sustainable - and even as activism creates the challenges that demand that we continue to grow.
Thanks to Sean and Sophie, and to all the participants, for a grounded and moving weekend.
