Different Events

To me, the most important event of the day was a sweat lodge for several recovering young addicts/alcoholics, a wonderful experience with lots of spiritual and human connectedness.  The lodge was preceded by several hours of staff meetings within the center that gives me most of my referrals, also with a good deal of connectedness, but less intensity.  The lodge is more personal and immediate, while the staff meeting is more professional.  The difference in my motivation and level of passion is quite noticeable, to me.  However, both are vital for me continuing what I do.  In each case, I simply wish to promote the importance and power of love, connectedness, understanding, compassion and the belief in some sort of unifying, benevolent force.
