Restoring the Power of Community: It takes you and me. It takes you and me talking. It takes you and me listening. The world is poised for a C-change. Humanity faces the opportunity to stay (stuck, siloed, isolated); the same; or to change (challenge paradigms, perspectives, seek connection). Let’s talk about it. Are you ready to listen to potentially divergent views and perspectives? What conditions create a favorable atmosphere for courageous healing conversations. Join Pacem in Terris and let’s explore together.
