Shine the Light, Grow the Vision! -A Culture of Philanthropy Intensive with Laurie Herrick
Saturday, September 7 • Noon–3:00 PM
Members and friends are warmly welcome.
The work of ISD matters deeply — perhaps now more than ever. In a world that can feel uncertain and hurried, ISD is a place of refuge, wisdom, and connection. But to keep shining our light, we must also learn how to sustain it. Join Laurie Herrick, author of Choose Abundance, for an uplifting, engaging, and strategy-
filled workshop designed for the times we’re in right now. Together, we will explore a new way
of thinking about abundance — one that flows from the same spiritual principles that guide our
teaching and community life: generosity, alignment, and shared purpose.
You’ll discover:
~How to weave a “culture of giving” into the heart of our community life.
~Practical, immediately usable tools to bring more resources, connection, and joy into ISD.
~How to invite others into our vision in a way that feels natural, heart-centered, and inspiring.
Come ready to be inspired, to connect with fellow community members, and to envision the next
beautiful chapter for the Institute for Spiritual Development. Strong cultures of giving thrive in challenging times. This is our moment to grow ISD into its next beautiful chapter — together.
