Fugitive slave, abolitionist, orator, preacher, journalist, editor, writer, and statesman, Frederick Douglass wore many hats in his lifetime to help a nation find meaning in moments of crisis, becoming, in the process, an important symbol of his age.

In what ways could our lives be changed if we made a commitment to explore how our own experiences can be a source of deep wisdom when navigating life’s big questions or decisions?

Together, we'll seek to cultivate the practice of listening to our lives as a sacred source of insight and direction.
