After 20 years with Spirit & Place, I find myself both reflective and deeply hopeful. The 30th annual Spirit & Place Festival opening ceremony took place at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. As I step away from leadership, I do so with full confidence in the future of Spirit & Place. If my years at Spirit & Place have taught me anything, it is this: listening is a form of leadership, and connection. As Spirit & Place enters its next chapter, I am confident its role as a vital space for dialogue, creativity and civic imagination will only deepen.
