FOR PERSEVERING PEOPLE
with Margaret Wheatley
How do we not lose our way in this difficult time?
How do we maintain our clarity, stamina and faith as we experience disruptions, set-backs and obstacles?
How do we persevere on behalf of the people, places and causes we love?
Based on Margaret’s book Perseverance, this DVD is a gentle, encouraging inquiry into these and other questions, and provides you with the opportunity to reflect on the challenges and strengths of people who persevere.
Filmed in the natural beauty of Sundance and Provo River Canyon in Utah, Margaret guides you through a series of reflections so that you might notice how you’re being affected by dynamics that can demoralize and exhaust us. She calls us to notice that we all come from ancestors who persevered (otherwise we wouldn’t be here) and to claim our identity as one who wants to persevere.
Throughout, you’re given time to pause and reflect in the presence of nature’s beauty. It is our intent that you’ll feel rested, provoked and refreshed by the experience of this DVD.
- Chapter One: How are you being affected by these times?
- Chapter Two: Staying in the middle of the river
- Chapter Three: Perseverance requires mindfulness
- Chapter Four: Dealing with opposition, urgency and change
- Chapter Five: Turning to one another

EIGHT FEARLESS QUESTIONS
An Inquiry with Margaret Wheatley
Join Dr. Margaret Wheatley, renowned author and teacher, in exploring eight questions designed to help you develop clarity about your work and the contribution you want to offer at this troubled time. In her gentle but forceful way, Dr. Wheatley takes us deeper into the questions of identity, reality, and our capacity to discover fearlessness for the people and issues we most care about:
1. Does the world need me to be fearless?
2. Who do I choose to be for this world?
3. How do I name myself?
4. Can I bear witness to what is?
5. Can I work with what’s available?
6. Can I give up needing to make a difference?
7. How do I imprison myself?
8. How do I offer my work?
