MLS Webinar (4/19 3pm EST): Leadership Inspired by the Wisdom of Nature

The Role of the Sacred in our Life/Work

Join us for a conversation as we explore big questions about the intersection of faith, the sacred, our lives, and our work.  What is the role of the sacred in our work?  What is the relationship between faith and belief?  How does this affect how we show up?

Kaylynn Sullivan TwoTrees has spent a life at the crossroads where species, cultures, beliefs, ideas  and the unknown collide and find both dissonance and resonance. As an artist/catalyst, her work focuses on re-orienting to indigenous mind, radical reciprocity and regenerating an essential relationship with the sacred through the wisdom of nature. She continues to find passion, renewal and nourishment from all of the Earth's expressions including humans and find joy in the journey of life.
