A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life serves as foundational reading for those seeking ways to bring aspects of the Courage & Renewal to their own communities or institutions. In the opening chapters Parker explores what it means to live an undivided life, one where our inner truth can find expression and value in our outer lives, despite the pressures we may face. In the remaining chapters he articulates the conditions necessary to create “circles of trust,” outlining in considerable detail the approach that we use in retreat settings. He then offers a model of community, based on the principles and practices that can help us embrace nonviolence in everyday life.
