Divided No More

Reweaving Our Lives; Renewing the World
by Parker J. Palmer
Presented at Rhodes College
Memphis, Tennessee
September 8, 2002

 

In this talk, noted author, educator and visionary leader, Parker Palmer explores the relationship between the inner, spiritual life and our activities and work in the world. Using stories from the realms of government, medicine, social activism and business, Palmer illustrates the consequences of our divided lives and the healing that comes when people listen to their hearts and follow the voice of higher truth. As united selves our inner and outer lives work together, allowing us to be more conscious of the choices we make, and guiding us to ensure that those choices are life-giving.
