FOR PERSEVERING PEOPLE
with Margaret Wheatley (2011)
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 (2011), this video 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 video.
