WISDOM OF THE ELDERS 14th ANNUAL Gathering -
Everyone
Is Welcome
October 3 -5, 2008
The Wisdom
of Listening
The
Wisdom of Listening begins by closing
your mouth and breathing through your nose (try it five times). By listening,
and not speaking, we shift into a place where we can hear, feel, and experience
spirit guiding us. Our gatherings have modeled an acceptance of all people, all
cultures, and all traditions. The real purpose is to take the lessons learned
from the weekend and apply them moment to moment in our thoughts, our words, and
our actions. Take time to come sit, listen, and learn from respected elders
from many cultures and traditions. Discover the common link that binds us all
together and carry the positive energy from this gathering back to your home,
your workplace, and your community.
