Let's make a date! Post the date of an upcoming event, open meeting, or any opportunity with "an extra chair" to talk our thought in person and community.

Want to dialogue, but not sure when or with whom? On our "O" page you can post a simple ad to identify your gifts and needs. What do you have to offer? What would you like to learn? Readers, educators, group facilitators, and consultants...return a DEAR memo to indicate your interests in giving or receiving assistance for adult reflection.
Four arenas for sharing wisdom among religious educators: visioning, spirituality, networking, and professional development.

What's Happening?
Wisdom DATES -- when two, three or more are gathered
D
   When we encounter a person we acquire a capacity to see and think and feel a new way, from another’s perspective. 
   Works of art, film and good books lend us fresh eyes and ears. Quality conversation bids us to exchange these gifts in mutual and loving care, heart to heart. 
   Conversation can change the world, starting with our own conversion. 
   Wisdom is more than words, and includes the silence between words. Acquiring wisdom is a life-long discipline of listening and reflecting. 
   Wise persons read between the lines, and harvest the personal content of human communication.
   Wisdom Talk is more than chat and chatter, and includes the invitation to change ourselves, and to challenge the world as we know it.
   Wise persons collect their thought, discern truth with others, and walk the talk.   
   This web site promotes Wisdom Talk in various settings and modes.
