SUMMARY:February Renewal: Looking into the Future
DESCRIPTION:February Renewal Session | Embracing the Future: Crisis\, Loss\, and the Path Forward with Meredith Wilson Parfet\nWednesday\, Feb. 19th\n12 Noon to 1:30 pm MST\nRegister Here\nRegistration Fee:  $5 | Free for all students and Iliff faculty and staff\nAn additional donation is welcome.\nIf the registration fee is a barrier to your attendance at the event\, please reach out to alumni@iliff.edu. \nSession Description \nAs we look to the future\, the inevitability of uncertainty invites us to confront not only external crises but also the deeply personal challenges of loss and mortality. In this session\, Meredith Parfet—hospice chaplain\, crisis management expert\, founder of Ravenyard Group\, Iliff Graduate and BOT Vice-Chair—guides us through the profound intersections of death\, grief\, and organizational resilience.Drawing on a rich tapestry of experience in crisis response and end-of-life care\, Meredith will explore how understanding mortality offers transformative insights for navigating organizational and personal crises. Attendees will leave with practical tools for embracing uncertainty and fostering a culture of courage\, compassion\, and preparedness.Join us for a thought-provoking dialogue on how the lessons of grief can illuminate the path forward in an unpredictable world. \nSeries Description \nWe are always considering the future. As individuals\, as members of groups\, as citizens\, we are often asking\, What will tomorrow bring? How will our world\, our country\, our institutions look in the coming years? And how can we shape that future to make it better? In the midst of so many uncertainties\, this Renewal season will focus on the question of what is coming next and how we can work for a better future. We will discuss topics ranging from artificial intelligence to religious institutions to politics and government. What can we expect as we watch these spaces change over the weeks\, months and years\, and what can we do? Join us for the 2024-2025 Renewal season as we learn about what tomorrow may hold and what we can do to enact justice today. \nMeredith Wilson Parfet \nMeredith’s day job is CEO of Ravenyard Group\, a boutique crisis management firm. And in what might be described as the weirdest side hustle ever\, she works a few shifts a month as a humanist hospice chaplain. She’s also an investor\, entrepreneur\, board member\, and philanthropist. All while perpetually wrestling with the spiritual and the material. She completed her Master of Arts in Pastoral and Spiritual care at Iliff in 2021 and serves as the Vice Chairperson of the Iliff Board of Trustees. A fifth generation Colorado native\, in her free time you can find Meredith driving her pickup on rural\, mountain roads headed with her family to go fishing\, hiking\, or skiing.
