Discuss, Dialogue, Deliberate, Discern, Design
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. Discover what we think, challenge the truth of what we say. Discussion online at our Google group and
interest groups invited at PC-Works. Go to Links for other online connections.
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. Parents, pastors, educators, youth ministers from the Diocese of La Crosse or other religious affiliation are welcome to participate, sharing ideas and best practices for catechesis and evangelization.
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.
