Topic: Untangling a Moral Conundrum
Description: Can a politician also be a prophetic person? What can we learn from the life of a man whose personal convictions and humanitarian sensibilities were in conflict with his responsibilities, the sentiments of the people he led, and the events he found himself thrust into. Quite a lot, it turns out. Lessons and inspiration from the life of Abraham Lincoln.

Topic: Taste and See: Meeting Wisdom Sources in Direct Experience
Description: Spiritual accompaniment is the practice to listen to and witness another person and give space to their inner aliveness and life story. In her training for this role, Trudy Grienauer is meeting wisdom sources experientially rather than intellectually. How can we “taste” more than just words in our sources?

Topic: The Cost of Conviction
