4 Week Wisdom Series - The Wisdom of Joy

The central focus of this Wisdom Series is Joy.    This series grows out of our previous 4-week offerings that focused on Forgiveness and Presence (past participation is not needed for this Joy Series).    Like our previous wisdom series offerings, this series is not a training of easy steps that assure neat and tidy outcome. It is a communing of people readied by life circumstance to develop a different relationship with joy, and wisdom that grows from that.    This online series mixes teaching, sharing stories, asking questions, practice, ritual, wondering and wandering to territories known and not known. There will be whole group and small group interaction. This series mixes insights found in both words shared and silence welcomed.    This series is intended to invite and cultivate:

• connecting, learning, and awakening
• dwelling in what stirs the human heart
• integrating experience to influence practice in both outer and inner world
• encouraging greater intimacy that connects this moment with the longer arcs of our lives and our circumstance

We assert that there is joy available in the present moment. Joy as a way of being that goes well beyond whatever we are feeling. Joy as practice. Joy as surrender. Joy as an attitude and discipline. Joy as a way of invoking more life into the complex, the complicated, the confusing. We believe that joy is not just bestowed, but claimed.
