Wisdom Council Members Jamie and Richard Meet in Person for the First Time!

Longtime Wisdom Council members and Abbey friends Jamie Marich and Richard Bruxvoort Colligan met in person for the first time at the Wild Goose Festival in Union Grove, North Carolina! As a virtual Abbey and online community we have been blessed to form deep relationships with one another across the globe and it always a treat to meet someone in person we have known for years online.

Richard and Jamie are co-teaching with Felicia Murrell and Aisling Richmond our upcoming retreat Resistance, Renewal, and Resilience: Resting into Uncertainty and Harnessing Opportunity with Kindred Spirits that beings September 8th. Here is a short video of their conversation filled with the delight of community. (Click CC for closed captions.)
