WISDOM OF INTENTION
Facilitated by Rev. Julie Brooks and Rev. Claudia Ruth Kohn
We invite you to spend an hour with us considering how to live with intention!
Which are the priorities, values, and essential ingredients of the life you are living; what motivates you?
Who do you want to be, what do you want to do with your time?
By focussing on the WHY, you can bring flow and joy back into your daily life. Join us for an evening examining The Wisdom of Intention!
Please have a journal and writing instrument close by.
Facilitators:
Rev. Julie Brooks
Rev. Dr. Julie Brooks is an ordained Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister, graduating with the One Spirit Class of 2019. She is also an intergenre writer and reverent rambler amongst the sacred and the sublime in Upstate New York. Julie shares her home with her wife of 26 years, Joellen, their garrulous golden, Griffin, and two fabulous felines, Quaker and Dylan Striped Tiger. Julie has worked as a clinical social worker, outdoor education instructor, college professor teaching Sociology and Education, and has a rich and textured history facilitating groups and leading worship experiences under the trees, on two wheels and “paddling with poets and prophets” on the Finger Lakes and San Juan Islands. Julie loved being a Dean’s Assistant with the One Spirit Second-Year 2020 and 2021 Seminary Classes. And, now, as the Chief Executive Pedaler of sacredcycling.com, Julie is passionately and purposefully pedaling her ministry from the saddle of her bike. Julie has a keen interest in Contemplative Practices across the wisdom traditions, and is currently working on setting some of those practices onto the saddle in her forthcoming book, Back to the Hub: InterSpiritual Practices for Sacred Cycling. Blessed be the wonder of wandering the world on a wheel!
