Dear Friends:

When I was in New York City during the World Trade Center attacks, I had a dream in which a Phoenix rose from the ashes of Ground Zero. The Phoenix identified itself as America's Soul, the moral and spiritual essence missing in our country.

After 17 years sitting with the Phoenix, I was moved to start America's Soul Community to develop leadership to develop our spiritual and moral essence. We found we could co-create a community to take us beyond individual and group egoism and overcome the fear and mistrust that keeps us separate and isolated from each other and from the rest of the world.

We meet monthly online on the first Wednesday from 12:00 pm-1:30 pm Eastern USA time. The next meeting on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5082456843?omn=86970532634A

Bring paper and colored markers for a visioning session on how we'd like America to be. For more, go to https://global-leader.org/americas-soul-cafes/.

We imagine an America where we join with others to make everyone feel safe, included, and empowered to face present and future challenges together.

Facilitated by Reconciliation Leaders, and with over 30 years of experience at the United Nations on five continents, we are now focused on sharing this knowledge to develop new American leaders who can build peace and resilience in our communities.

Your donation will help us to continue this important work and leave a legacy of peace in America. Thank you for your support!

in gratitude,

Virginia Swain
