In a time marked by division, transition, and deep uncertainty, how can you stay grounded—and keep showing up with clarity, courage, and conviction? Join author and Center for Courage & Renewal founder Parker J. Palmer and Valerie Brown, author and Courage & Renewal Facilitator, for meaningful dialogue and reflection—to explore how we resource ourselves and each other to meet this moment with wisdom and care.
This 90-minute, online gathering, moderated by CCR Executive Director Kathryn McElveen, is an opportunity for you to reflect with Parker and Valerie on the inner and outer resources we need to respond to the world’s pressing needs with integrity. This gathering is an invitation for you to lean more faithfully into your values and our shared humanity as we work towards building beloved community.
Together, we’ll reflect on:
- Staying rooted in our deepest values as the ground beneath us shifts.
- Discerning what’s ours to do without falling into overwhelm or despair.
- Cultivating the stamina to keep showing up and taking action with open hearts.
- Living in service of love, truth, and justice, in practical, grounded ways.
