Once a month, for four months during the autumn season we’ll gather online for two hours to slow down, quiet down and ponder how our work can be sustained by connecting our inner self with our presence in the classroom and in other settings where we are with students.
We are part of a larger reality,
a vast and vibrant community
of meadow and mountain,
water and sky, a great rush of life
rich with possibility but also
bounded by necessity.
All things come and go.
Whether this be a formula for
weary resignation or
for tranquil acceptance of the inevitable,
the most we can hope for
is that all things come
and all thing go, over and over again.
~~John Mogabgab

It’s paradoxical and it’s fantastically benevolent that we can feel deeply in contact with the world around us as, and really only as, we cultivate that deep contact within ourselves.” ~ Judith Blackstone
