All are welome to read and contribute. Many of us live by the gift of faith. In a diverse society we are tolerant of civil discourse that remains civil. If you disagree with something you read or see, respect the other and offer your viewpoint. Our differences enrich the soil of common ground and broaden the boundaries of community and wisdom.

 

We strive to be GLOCAL -- globally aware and locally active. We inform our talk with wisdom gathered from personal experience and institutional sources: churches, university, schools, web sites, libraries, businesses, government, and non-profits.

 

To build local community we favor face-to-face conversations, often with food and drink. Primary participants at Wisdom Talk live in central Wisconsin. May this online resource of virtual connections wet our appetite for personal encounters wherever we talk our thought and walk our talk. 

Will you join us? This site rises out of a passion for adult learning, personal and social change. If you find something you care about here, bring your gifts and our web will grow. 

Wake up to a deeper aWareness

We Want and Will a Wisdom Wider than 'Me'

Wisdom Talk and companion web sites are for  persons who seek to deepen and share understanding. We encourage one another in the humble undertaking of weaving a wise culture one conversation at a time.

 

Google Group sites (under construction) provide more space for discussion and archived files.  Try:

Wisdom-Talk  explores meanings of wisdom,  visions of spirituality and society, healing polarization, and  other interests. 

PC-Works conserves resources in central Wisconsin.

ICE is an interfaith response to environment concerns. 

DARE focuses on evangelization and catecheis in the Diocese of La Crosse. 
 

Site users contribute insights and best practices that enhance social engagement, and compassionate response to the needs and gifts of others. I share what I know, and search for what you know. The wondrous result is community in its multi-varied forms.

 

 

 

 

Workshops are available about Wisdom Talk methods and resources for church congregations and civic groups who want to improve their capacity as learning and serving communities.
