Transformations Spirituality Center at 3427 Gull Road in Kalamazoo, MI is hosting a program facilitated by Nancy Sylvester, IHM. Nancy is founder and director of the Institute for Communal Contemplation and Dialogue. We will hear stories of how this works and learn useful processes for responding with compassion to difficult circumstances. This is the antidote to alarming polarities, the path to deeper empathy and altruism, and a way to connect with those holding very different positions on issues. Registration is $55 if received by October 5; $65 thereafter and includes lunch. For more information, see TransformationsCenter.org or call 269.381.6290 x327.
