Description

Be part of a different kind of conversation as we explore together in this week’s discussion how tending to our own spiritual growth and to that of our communities can actually be complementary processes that help support one another. It’s quite natural to think about our personal spiritual growth and development in terms of improving our own life, but how does that relate to the real world around us? What if our own personal growth is closely connected to the growth and progress of others? And what if turning our gaze beyond just ourselves to also focus on the progress of others and of our communities not only helps make the world a better place but is actually what helps us grow? Drawing on themes found in the first book of the Ruhi Institute’s “Reflections on the Life of the Spirit,” please join us for a lively discussion as we explore the ways in which self-development is connected with that of those around us. Come explore with us the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on how practicing selflessness and incorporating service to others can actually further our own growth. *The Ruhi Institute seeks to build capacity in individuals and in communities to serve humanity. Through a series of free courses, this program seeks to enhance the spiritual growth of individuals as we look to build the skills and attitudes necessary to bring about individual and collective transformation. The next three series of topics explored in Meaningful Conversations will draw on some of the popular themes found in this series of courses. "Whosoever has lost himself has found the universe and the inhabitants thereof. Whosoever is occupied with himself is wandering in the desert of heedlessness and regret. The "master-key" to self-mastery is self-forgetting." – Bahá'í Teachings *** This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.
