SUMMARY:Poet-Prophet Formational Journey Cohort
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to respond in these times as a Poet–Prophet—a fellow traveler on the Formational Journey—by joining a 12-week cohort of 8 meetings\, weaving together: \n\nPoetry of the soul: attentiveness\, imagination\, presence\nProphetic courage: truth-telling\, discernment\, hopeful action\nCommunal flourishing: connection\, place-making\, and the shaping of a sacred commons\n\nStarting in March and running through June\, we will meet on the first and third Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30pm in Shields Hall.  \nTo register\, simply email Deborah@Meetinghouse.life.\nRegister Now\n  \nCohort Meeting Dates: the first and third Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30pm in Shields Hall.  \n\nMarch 4\, 2026\nMarch 18\, 2026\nApril 1\, 2026\nApril 15\, 2026\nMay 6\, 2026\nMay 20\, 2026\nJune 3\, 2026\nJune 17\, 2026\n\n  \nAN INVITATION TO A JOURNEY \nThis is an invitation to a journey in response to a collective longing for wisdom and for courage in these times. These longings are not incidental; they are signs of a threshold moment—a time of both exile and emergence. In such times\, the Formational Journey becomes our compass: an ancient path made new\, guiding us from the reclamation of Core\, through the shaping of Character\, toward the embodiment of Community for the sake of communal flourishing. \nThroughout history\, such moments have called forth Poets and Prophets—not as titles\, but as capacities of the soul formed over time. They help us remember what matters most and call us toward the world that longs to be born. \nThe Poet: Knowing and Being Known \nThe Poet emerges as we reclaim our Core—our true identity in Source. The Poet listens beneath the noise\, attends to the subtle\, awakens imagination\, and restores our capacity to see. This is the Know of the inner journey: remembering deeply\, locating ourselves in story and belonging\, and discerning truth from illusion\, presence from performance. \nThe Prophet: Giving and Acting in Truth \nThe Prophet emerges as Character is formed—through surrender\, courage\, shadow work\, and the refining fire of love. The Prophet reads the signs of the times\, discerns what is breaking and what is being born\, and speaks truth in service of shalom. This is the Give of the outer journey: living with integrity\, acting justly\, loving mercy\, and walking humbly with God and neighbor. Nurturing both Poet and Prophet brings alignment between what we profess and how we live. \nWhy This Journey Matters Now \nWe are living at a social\, spiritual\, and ecological inflection point. Our systems are strained\, our communities fragmented\, and our imaginations fatigued. The response is not simply new programs or institutions\, but a return to formation—to journey together toward wholeness\, wisdom\, and courageous presence. \nFormation teaches us to: \n\nConnect with Source\, one another\, and the living world\nRead our context with discernment and hope\nShape communities where belonging is nurtured and responsibility is shared\n\nThis is a practice that becomes our path.

SUMMARY:MSR Research Colloquium: “The Mystical and Research”
DESCRIPTION:Join Debbie and global leaders for a workshop on Crossing the Ontological Gap (aka Threshold Crossings) on Friday\, June 12th at 2:45pm.  A great way to start the weekend! \nNOTE: Debbie’s session is from 2:45 – 3:45 pm ET\, Friday\, June 12.  The MSR Research Colloquium is a free\, two-day event spanning June 11-12\, 2026. \nRegister Here\n  \nAbout the Session:  \nThe Formational Set: An Ontological Field Architecture for Researching Leadership Transformation at the Threshold of the Mystical \nFriday\, June 12 at 2:45 pm \nThis session introduces the Formational Set (FS)\, an ontological field architecture for understanding leadership transformation as recursive identity reconstitution rather than skill acquisition or stage progression (Palgrave\, 2025).\nDrawing on perennial wisdom\, systems change theory\, and the neuroscience of memory\, the FS articulates transformation through five dynamics—Tension\, Turning\, Threshold\, Tending\, and Terroir—across nine domains of formation. Particular attention is given to the “ontological gap\,” letting go/surrendering… a discontinuous shift from ego-structured identity to relationally embedded being\, resonant with descriptions of unitive or mystical experience. \nThe session explores how such experiences may be studied without reduction\, proposing a relational\, participatory epistemology that integrates first-person inquiry with emerging empirical pathways (the Formational Set Scale). This work contributes to bridging mystical knowing and management research by offering a framework that holds rigor and ineffability in generative tension\, inviting new approaches to leadership formation and the study of consciousness in organizational life. \nView Full Program Agenda\n  \nAbout the MSR Research Colloquium \n\n\nA 36 hour colloquium on mystical and scholarly inquiry\, blending research talks\, dialogue\, and reflective practice. \n\n\n\n\nHosted by the MSR Research Committee \n\n\n\n\nA 36-hours research colloquium exploring the meeting point of the mystical and scholarly inquiry. Through research talks\, methodological dialogues\, and structured reflective practice\, participants will examine lived experience as research\, spiritual transformation\, the unconscious and emotional life\, and the holistic nature of knowledge and being. The gathering invites rigorous methods alongside contemplative approaches\, making space for both critical analysis and inner experience.
