Sparking Great Conversation
Monday, April 21, 2008
When’s the last time you had a really great conversation with someone? When you learned something new? When you listened to the last word before you uttered the next word? When a pot of tea was your only other form of entertainment? For many of us, the answer is far too long ago, because we get busy, we have obligations, errands … life. So the conversations we end up having are those at the water cooler, those in passing, those over cocktails—and dare we say, those about weather, only spoken to break the silence of nothing better to say. Well enough talking at, to, down and over, how about talking together? Openly? Freely? And about things that matter?
Pure Light is bringing back conversation with a series of conversation gatherings designed to get people talking again and to embrace the unique thoughts of each us, learning with open minds and open hearts.
Our first series is our Yoga-Inspired Conversations, every Wednesday at 10 am. We’ll begin with a session of yoga that will help center the mind and awaken the senses and help us be present for a 40-minute inspired conversation. Topics will range from “Women’s Work and Forming Spiritual Circles” to “Awakening into Nature” to “Creativity” and Inner Beauty.” (Visit our calendar for more details.) We’re also creating a Pure Light Book Club to discuss some of today’s best-selling reads, such as Eckhart Tolle’s, “A New Earth” that is currently being chatted about on Oprah and around the world.
Now, back to that first question, “When’s the last time you had a really great conversation?” We’d love to hear from you. Please add your comment below.
