The Future of the Work
Everything Belongs: Living the Teachings of Richard Rohr Forward
The Imagination of What is Institutionally Possible
The hosts bring in Michael Poffenberger, the executive director of the CAC, to discuss the imagination of what is institutionally possible with the direction they are headed while staying grounded in humility, wisdom, and joy. Michael shares his introduction to Richard and the Center for Action and Contemplation, discussing his background in human rights work and his spiritual path. He also reflects on a crisis of limitation he faced in his 20s and how his work had become a defense against the reality of his own powerlessness. He talks about attending a wilderness retreat designed by Richard, which became a transformative experience for him. Michael concludes by discussing his involvement in organizing wilderness retreats and his eventual meeting with Richard in person.
