Spiritual Leadership from the Inside Out
     Rabbi Shefa Gold

As we cultivate connection between us in spiritual community, we must also do the work of creating holy connection inside our hearts. It is that inner work which will form the foundation for our work in community and in the world. The freedom to step into mutual beneficial relationship with those that we serve depends on the quality of our awareness , attention, presence and connection to the Source that sustains us. We will explore practices that lift up awareness, refine attention, deepen presence and nurture our connection to Source.
