For Advent: Quiet Day for Leaders
Led by Margaret Benefiel
Saturday, December 6, 9:30 am – 1:00 pm
All Saints Parish, 1773 Beacon Street, Brookline
In twenty-first century America, leaders are rewarded for their drive, decisiveness, productivity, and long work hours. What would it look like for a leader to cultivate the inner life, to step off the treadmill, to take time apart for personal reflection? What would leadership arising from a core of spiritual groundedness and compassion look like? This Advent, come apart for a quiet day to reflect on these themes and to get spiritually renewed. Whether you find yourself in leadership roles at work, at church, at home, or elsewhere, this workshop is for you. Whatever your sphere of influence, come learn how to be a more effective, fulfilled leader within that sphere.
This will be an experiential, interactive workshop in which participants' own leadership experiences will serve as the basis for reflection and discernment.
Fee: $45 (scholarships available).
