Subject line of email from the Advocate Aurora Hospital Newsletter:

Are you having a Permacrisis?

{Me - Gosh I don’t know? I don’t even know what it is!}

“The term won top spot in Colin’s Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2022, and it pretty much sums up the kind of year it was for many of us. Permacrisis is defined as ‘an extended period of instability and insecurity, especially one resulting from a series of catastrophic events.’ From the pandemic turned tripledemic and severe weather to economic woes and wars, we’ve certainly had our share of ongoing crises.” We’re all in the midst of it. So join us for this

Hosanna                                        Steve Garnaas-Holmes
 
        Hosanna to the Son of David!
        Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
        Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
                           —Matthew 21.9
Hosanna.
“Save us, O God!”

Save us. Not really a shout of praise
but a cry of desperation.

Only you, humble and riding on an ass,
can save us on our war horses.
Only you, pouring yourself out,
can save us from the wounds that swallow us.
Only you, suffering,
can save us, married to our comforts.
Only you, loving and forgiving,
can save us, so well defended.

Save us, O Vulnerable One,
from the fortresses we carry with us.

Give me faith to ride with you,
humble, disarmed, lovingly self-pouring,
with deep trust in your saving.

Hosanna.
Blessed is the one who comes
in the peace of God.

Dear friend,
As a valued member of the National Day of Dialogue audience, we're excited to invite you to an exclusive virtual event. Founded by Ideos Institute, the National Day of Dialogue (NDOD) is a nationwide movement that stands up to division and polarization.
 
In partnership with the National Institute for Civil Discourse, we are excited to announce a new NDOD seminar and dialogue series: Dialogue, Difference and Democracy. The series will bring together experts in the field of dialogue to promote practices, norms, and tools related to engaging our differences productively in service of democracy promotion, social cohesion, conflict transformation, and human flourishing. Each expert-led talk will be followed by a dialogue session where participants will be placed into small discussion groups to share ideas, ask questions, and gain insights alongside other practitioners and participants from across the U.S.
 
Our inaugural session features Seth David Radwell, renowned author of American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation.

Date: April 11, 2023
Time: 12:00 PM Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern
Where: Zoom

In today's polarized society, meaningful dialogue is more important than ever. Radwell's expertise on fostering constructive discourse among the exhausted majority has the power to promote social cohesion, conflict transformation, and the healing of our nation.
 
During this thought-provoking webinar, Radwell will share thoughts from his work and research on strategies to recommit to shared democratic value, ways to re-establish civil and rational discussion in contemporary politics, and creation of a roadmap for healing our nation and ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
 
Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage in a stimulating conversation with Seth David Radwell and fellow participants passionate about promoting democracy and encouraging human flourishing.

Secure your spot now: Register here

Please feel free to share this invitation with your network, as we believe the more voices we bring together, the stronger our movement towards civil discourse and unity will be.

We look forward to seeing you at this important event!
