Colloquy on Purpose
Karen Elliott
BES President, Mediation Master

This colloquy format was developed by Arthur Dobrin, Leader Emeritus of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island, teacher, and writer. Dobrin recently received the Felix Adler Lifetime Achievement Award, the American Ethical Union’s highest individual honor.

Colloquy is a thematic, meditative experience that includes music, story, spoken word, thoughtful silence, and some shared personal reflection. This colloquy on Purpose is based on one included in Dobrin's book Speaking God with Two O's and was first presented by Karen at the American Ethical Union's Annual Assembly this summer.
