Group Leadership In
Service To Community
Community is the essential nature of human connection, and yet so many of
us operate with little training, tools or understanding of how to nurture
a group of people into a vibrant and strong community. In this workshop we
will explore core issues of leading people in community through
facilitated group conversations, and exercises designed to allow us to connect
in a safe and authentic way through communication. Old concepts of leadership
will give way to a service based leadership which will empower each participant
to lead groups with a deeper understanding of individual participation/roles,
group dynamics, and non-violent feedback/investment in relationships.

Kelly
Connor -The wisdom of love in the mystery of death. One of the great challenges
of life is meeting death, and the dead, without fear, prejudice, or sentimentality.
Rudolf Steiner's indications about our after-life journey provides firm ground
from which we can build bridges between the living and the dead. We can track
the after-life journey of those that have gone before us because there is
an inherent wisdom and elegance in the mystery of death that can be unravelled
through love.
