Parker Palmer’s Inner Teacher
Interested in your “inner teacher” helping your inner life become more congruent with your role in life? Join Don Neblett every other Tuesday night from 6:15 to 7:30 for six sessions, beginning on January 25, to review the book A Hidden Wholeness by Parker Palmer.
Book review synopsis: Palmer seeks to help us “rejoin soul and role,” so that individuals and communities can be healed from the ravages of consumerism, injustice and violence. No small task, yet in classic Palmer style, this mission is fleshed out with stories, poems, personal confessions and a plan—concrete steps for creating “circles of trust” where honest, open sharing allows each person’s “inner teacher” to show up. (Ground rules: “no fixing, no saving, no advising, no setting each other straight.”) Palmer’s concern is that too many people have “divided lives,” with personal values that don’t match what they are asked to do in the world to succeed. He argues that “the soul is real and powerful” and is “safe only in relationships with certain qualities,” ones that “protect, border and salute” the time it takes to hear our “inner teacher.”
We will meet in the upper room of the Warner Building. For more information, contact Brian Cole at brian@allsoulscathedral.org
