Speakers Series We see a growing hunger for information and ideas about spirituality and work. But mostly, we see a yearning for conversation, for engagement, in the larger questions relating to work. As part of our contribution to answering that need, we present provocative speakers from across Canada, the United States and around the world. They engage audiences and support our exploration of spirituality and how it relates to work. “Attending the speaking events and hearing different perspectives on spirituality and work was very helpful to me in my own exploration of the subject.” Executive, Halifax, Nova Scotia
