GREETINGS
Our online meeting on discernment discussed various perspectives on how we make our decisions, particularly, the important ones. We considered the role of love, Ignatian discernment processes, the importance of intuition, emotional responses and personal wisdom grounded in life experience. We also discussed the need to hear more women's voices, particularly in leadership roles in group decision making.
