Organizational Tadasana...

This conference is blowing my mind.

For L: AI is Organizational Yoga in the true meaning of the word.

AI connects work with spiritual formation.

And watching the sun set on the GoM doesn't hurt either.

Much better, thank you...

Over the weekend I ran into several people who told me they hoped I was feeling better. I've been over that cold for a whole week. This morning it final dawned on me that I haven't updated my blog since then and these were people who are following and saw me in person for the first time since.

So, thanks for your concern. The cold was actually short-lived, I think because I slept much of one day and took it easy the next couple of days.

Since then I've been very busy dealing with some snarly stuff at work and balancing that against two days at the seminary last week for my class on spiritual formation. The class is going well - I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot, and I've gotten to know some wonderful people.

New adventure...

New adventure...

Tomorrow I embark on an entirely new kind of adventure. I'm taking three days of vacation to get started in a year-long workshop on spiritual guidance at AMBS.

Some of my readers know that I've been involved in direction off and on for several years. (You can read a good definition here.) In the last few years I've found myself exploring what it might mean to offer direction.

This isn't a career change or anything like that; it would be hard to make a living doing direction. I'm not even enrolling in seminary because it is a non-credit program. If you need some way to classify it, consider it a very strange hobby.

My class meets for whole days half a dozen times through the next year.
