We live in ever changing and challenging times. As a result we are often caught in change and flux: living life in unexpected ways. We can become disconnected from the passion that once fed us in our roles and responsibilities. We may be searching for our next step in life. We begin to scan our inner landscapes for clues. We travel further on our journey toward an undivided life.
Circles of Trust� experiences are occurring in various countries and settings: the circles include those who are serving in business, education, non-profits, health care, faith communities, and other organizations in service to others. The introductory retreat is based on the learning of the activist and writer Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal (for more information, please visit: www.couragerenewal.org).
