all the world changes – for the better.
What is the conference’s theme?
Engage 2022 is about deep listening and the lasting change it can create.
It’s about the lives and relationships that are transformed by the contemplative kindness of one person holding space for another, truly meeting another human being where they are.
Engage 2022 is about engaging with our shadow to find light.
Engage 2022 is about bridge building in the service of love– fostering engagement.
Engage 2022 is about contemplative practice.
And Engage 2022 is about deep healing.

Engage 2022
Listening is engagement -
companionship to heal our fractured world.
Fear not -
neither the journey,
nor the darkness,
nor the challenge.
Be present, explore.
Listen.
Engage.
Follow your shadow -
Your own suffering,
Our world's dysfunction and pain.
You may want to resist, stop, distract yourself,
So bring someone you trust,
A companion to walk beside you as you explore.
To remind you:
The sun has your back, no matter how long the shadow stretches before you.
Listening allows the receiving ones
To be present to anyone of us,
so that we can hear our inner, authentic voices.
Open the gateless gate of your heart
And bring someone you trust,
A trained, experienced companion to walk beside you.
Enter together.
A gentle, open question,
The silence that does not count seconds or minutes,
The companionship that says I meet you where you are -
These are the most powerful tools we have
To compost and till and work the darkness
Like life-giving earth.
To engage with even our dark nights of the soul,
And those of our brothers and sisters.
To change the world for the better
By learning to listen to all voices, starting with our own.
By trusting truth to lead us to love.
Community is seeded
and flourishes
with this patient, present, active trust.
This is the way we heal.
This is the way to wholeness.
This is the way love stands strong.
Through the shadow,
eyes open,
affirming the light that never leaves us.
No matter what we face,
Fear not.
Listen.
And join us
For Engage 2022.
