a great weekend

our community had a wonderful weekend of working together to host over 20 out-of-town guests for a gathering called 'school for conversion' (follow this link for more info).

we studied together, worked and ate together, prayed and paused together. it was a challenge and a joy for us to talk about communality - our life in communal mission - and learn more about our history. it's a surprise just how inspiring and healing it is to recount our past in public - warts and all! billy (our friend and fellow founder, pictured here on the left) wrote beautifully of this suprise over at the ashram.

as far as our feeling of 'being home' is concerned, this was a perfect book-end to our transition back into normal kentucky life. we are home!
