One Day the World Will Be A Perfect Place: Strategies for the Meantime
Many of us dream about a perfect service system that fulfills all of its promises -- a service system full of hope and green lights and creativity. Many of us dream about living our lives with good health and integrity -- lives where we really do have the time for the people we love and the activities that matter most. One day the world will be perfect...but what do we do in the meantime? A workshop about living with intention in an imperfect world.

Walking to the Fire Road
In the last year, I have tried to work less so that I could be home more. As a part of my daily routine, I have tried to walk in the national forest behind my home and, on occasion, have made it to the fire road on the top of Brush Mountain. This is a keynote about treasures and mystery and an aging dog. Most of all, it is about finding that wild part of our nature, waiting in the deep woods.
