Contemplate, Communicate and Create Community

A workshop with Mitra Mark Power,

April 19-20

Please join us April 19-21 for a refreshing exploration of the heart of community.

These are some of ways to contemplate community and what it means to us.

• What makes it warm, workable, and someplace we want to be?
• What are the qualities of a strong and healthy community?
• How do we personally connect to members, both those near and far away?
• What is our contribution and responsibility to a healthy community?
• What are the ways that we can personally be of benefit to others in our community?
• What are our aspirations for community and, how do we turn those aspirations into actions?

This program will offer exercises in creative contemplation and communication to renew inspiration around our path and being together in community. Mark’s offerings are always thoughtful and focused on a compassionate connection to heart and mind.

We hope you’ll come, join Mitra Mark and share in our creative work together.
