Inspiring Our Work, Renewing Our SpiritA year-long speaker series for faculty and staff funded by a Bannan Grant. The Call to Aliveness in Our WorkGregg Levoy, Author of Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic LifeThursday, October 22: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., Benson, CA Mission Rm. Co-sponsored by Center for Student Leadership, Drahmann Advising Center, and Human Resources. Bringing our full and authentic selves to work means wrestling with the tensions inherent in our work lives, and sometimes struggling to not only keep our spirits up, but reclaim them from life’s downward-pulling forces and deadening effects that can siphon our vitality from us. This requires courageous inquiry into our work lives if not our souls, and a commitment to taking time out for reflection in the onrushing of career, and the demands of challenging times, which aren’t merely intrusions on the work to be done---they’re also callings. We’re being called to respond: to shore up our courage, experiment with new approaches, reinvent ourselves, manage our own anxieties, and suffer creatively. This presentation is about how we can keep the receiver turned on, listening for what our work lives are calling for from us. It’s about cultivating a keen awareness of where the pulse is and a determination to keep plugged into that place, knowing that our individual work is also the work of the world---that when we insist on our own vitality, we stake a claim for everyone’s vitality, including the students and colleagues with whom we work. Lunch included. RSVP Now
