“Since everything is sacred, staying close to what is sacred is a matter of presence and attention more than travel to some secret place. In essence, staying close is a pilgrimage to the heart of where we are. Since it is we who lose our directness of living, our task is often to restore that freshness of being alive. How do we stray on and off the path of what matters? How do we befriend the life of obstacles? How do we find a home between suffering and loving the world? EscortCity How do we help each other respond to the invitation to grow? In this workshop, we will enter these questions and work with stories and parables as a way to evoke the wisdom of our own stories.”
