Leadership and the Rule of Benedict: Community In the Time of Social Distancing VIA ZOOM

 Leadership and the Rule of Benedict: Community In the Time of Social Distancing w/ Mike Carey VIA ZOOM 

Friday, October 2-Sunday, October 4, 2020

 Friday- 7pm

Saturday- 10am, 3pm, 7pm

Sunday-  10am

St. Benedict understood that life lived in community was essential to the spiritual growth of the individual monk, and we know how important it is for our own health and development to have a community of people who both support and challenge us.  What can we learn from the Benedictine dynamics of stability, obedience, and conversatio- which monks commit to when entering the monastery--to assist us as we form community in the time of social distancing?  This workshop includes small group interactions on questions related to the practice of relationship during the current pandemic.

 
Dr. Michael Carey is an oblate of Valyermo.  He is an Associate Professor of Organizational Leadership at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA.  He has taught leadership studies at the graduate level for 33 years at Gonzaga and works to ensure that Gonazaga's graduate leadership programs follow in the tradition of Jesuit education that stretches back to St. Ignatius of Loyola. But his first love is St. Benedict and the community of St. Andrew's Abbey, which he has been connected to since 1971.
