This spring, The BTS Center invited you to our quarterly virtual Open Houses showcasing the offerings of our Leadership Commons.
The Leadership Commons is a space where we continue to develop new content and gather materials adapted from past programs to help equip faith leaders in the work of guiding communities of spiritual practice through the uncertainties of life on a changing planet.
Our offerings continue to grow and expand under the guidance of our Leadership Commons Curator team and others, and the Open House will be an opportunity to learn more about how you and your congregation or community can access and make use of these vibrant resources.
For our May Open House, Madeline Bugeau-Heartt, who has been interning with The BTS Center this year, presented a resource she has developed which offers embodied practices to bring to your own gatherings and programs. This set of thirteen practices uses embodied play to inspire creativity in an individual or group context. Each practice can stand alone or be combined to tailor to your specific interests and needs.
Madeline is thrilled to be working at The BTS Center as a seminary intern. She is currently a second year Masters of Divinity candidate at the Harvard Divinity School. Madeline graduated from NYU Tisch in 2013 with a BFA in Theater, and since then has originally devised and collaborated on countless experimental theater and film projects in NYC and Boston. Ever a Jane of all trades, she has also spent time farming on a 250 acre vegetable farm, caregiving for the elderly, and freelancing as a writer. Her studies at Harvard have plunged her into the reality of the Climate Changed, and she is grateful to be working for an organization so dedicated to inspiring and caring for a world in radical transition.
