Glorietta

I'm back from Glorietta and from my first trip of what is going to be a travel month. The sun was warm and soothing as was the conversation and making new friends in New Mexico. I led a couple discussions over the few days we were there. The first was on the link between our bodies and our soul and in interplay between them. I've written a few posts on this here -- especially when training is in full swing. There's something tangible and practical about body spirituality that I inherently like and love to talk about my experiences and how they've shaped my view of God and life.

The other conversation I co-led with Ryan Sharp - about what I'm calling Developmental Theology. The integration of Theology, Psychology, Sociology and Physiology. It was a lively discussion about spiral dynamics, a theory of everything, and our longings to become human as our Creator intended.

While the facilitated conversations were invigorating, the real magic of the gathering happens on walks, late night talks, and cooking together. I met some beautifully wounded people who are moving forward in the way of love.

Daley (whose photography I love) put up some photos from the event here.

I'm in town for this week, then I fly out on Sunday to join The Cobalt Season tour, and will fly out from Louisville to Nassau, Bahamas to meet up with old and new friends at Soularize '07.

for now.
