The Need for Wisdom

One of the stories that I tell myself is that we (people in general and in very specific circumstance) need more wisdom. It’s not more data and knowledge, it’s more integration.

In our jobs. In our families. In our communities. In the circumstance we are called to live in these times.

Not more default, narrowed thinking. Not more fear, restricted imagination. Not more lists of details, masquerades in volume.

Wise and soulful is what Quanita Roberson and I often say to ground our work. So that we (people in general and in very specific circumstance) can participate in mystery and contribute to evolutions. With kindness, consciousness, and flow with life.

The Wisdom Series above is one of the formats Quanita and I created to cultivate such wisdom. It offers a smaller bite of food from the same plate that is our bigger Fire & Water leadership journey and rite of passage.

Over four weeks online, we intend to cultivate relationship with forgiveness, including the aspects of anger, grief, compassion, and grace. To bring more honesty and truth-telling. To bring more wisdom.

Thank you for considering signing on, and gifting a registration to another. It’s two hours every Thursday in February. With small and intimate community in some pretty sweet connection together and a few important teachings to guide.

Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
