Phenomenology of Conversation with David Whyte & Peter Block
What happens when you try to have a real conversation and why are they so difficult? How are silence and vulnerability forms of invitation to authentic encounter? Does anyone survive a real conversation?
David Whyte will speak with Peter Block and Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp about the phenomenology of conversation. This event will draw on David’s poetry and attendees will be invited to be active participants in this emerging conversation.

Join us for this important conversation.
This conversation will be held on Thurs, Sept. 15 from 2-3 pm EST.
