Course Description: In his 2011 book, Healing the Heart of Democracy,
Parker Palmer anticipates our current situation when
he wrote, "the politics of our time is the 'politics of
the brokenhearted.'" The question is whether the heart
is broken open into a greater capacity to hold the
complexities and contradictions of human experience,
with the result being new life, or whether the heart is
"broken apart into a thousand pieces," with the result
being anger, depression, and disengagement. Using a
discussion guide and brief video clips of the author,
this day-long retreat will be a safe space for dialogue,
helping each one of us to discover how we might
contribute courageously to a "politics worthy of the
human spirit" to move past our divisions and contribute
to the common good.
Required Material
Parker Palmer, Healing the Heart of Democracy: The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit (Jossey-Bass, 2011).
