In many circles, hope has gotten a bad rap as having no connection to reality.
Join us on June 20th as we explore the often-hidden dimensions of hope, using essays from Leif Hass, an emergency room physician, and Rebecca Solnit, who wrote “Hope in the Dark.”
“Hope is not the belief that everything was, is, or will be fine,” she writes. “Hope locates itself in the premise that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.”
“Hope, like other emotions, can be contagious,” Hass writes. “Together, people can support, motivate, brainstorm, and strategize. … (we are) committing to ‘facing this together.’”
Together, we will explore how to define hope, what it is, and is not. We will look at the landscape of hope, rooted in uncertainty, and how to cultivate hope and build hope together. How do servant leadership practices align with hope? Join us as we examine the intersections of these powerful ways of being.
