Inspiration and Activism

“….It can be hard to get behind issues that don't directly affect you - your fruit isn't rotting from the inside on your farm, your town isn't being flooded - but a lot of kids were able to get past their privilege and join in to stand up for something beyond their protected, safe experience." —11th grade climate activist, Kai Gilbert

The Elegance of Paradox

The Elegance of Paradox

I've been thinking a lot about paradoxes lately.

This fall I had the great fortune of spending 3 days at a Courage and Renewal® Circle of Trust retreat in Burlington run by WholeHeart. The focus of the retreat was about scarcity and abundance. We spent a lot of time talking about and reflecting on the idea of paradox and I continue to ponder on it.
