First — a reminder — this Sunday, April 10: The April 10 Wisdom Circle is with first speaker Sheetal Sanghvi at the Urban Ashram at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. For this conversation we’re bringing together our two monthly wisdom circles — the OWL Global Wisdom Circle, and the Interfaith Wisdom Circle. If you haven’t yet RSVP’d, we’d love to have you join the video conference! You can find find all the information and RSVP at April 10 Wisdom Circle.

. . Second — this Saturday, April 9: I’ll be interviewing Dr. Laurie Mulvey on the ServiceSpace Global Awakin Call, at 9 AM Pacific Time. Laurie is co-founder and Executive Director of World in Conversation, a student-driven center for true public diplomacy at Penn State University. It’s dedicated to facilitating radically open dialogues that expand perspectives and invite greater understanding between people. Founded on the vision that facilitated dialogue will revolutionize cross-cultural relationships by transforming conflict into collaboration, the center trains undergraduates to be facilitators who can deftly navigate exchanges on contentious topics ranging from U.S. race relations, climate change, faith, gender and culture. Each year, undergraduate facilitators lead more than 1200 face-to-face dialogues with over 8,000 of their peers on campus — as well as hundreds of virtual dialogues between students around the world, including from universities in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, China, Israel, Palestine, Pakistan, Egypt and Qatar. You can find out more and RSVP to join the global teleconference at Awakin Call with Laurie Mulvey.

I hope you can join us for one or both of these global conversations!

Please let me know if you have any questions, or anything you’d like to add to our calendar or next newsletter.

In gratitude.
