[David Gray]

this Friday.  Everyone's welcome!


Emotional Intelligence -- Desserts / Discussion

Date:           Friday, April 7, 2006
Time:   7 pm
Place:  Sidney-Pacific Graduate Residence (Seminar Room)
                 70 Pacific St., Cambridge, MA

Emotional Intelligence refers to our ability to know, and manage our own 
emotions both in out relationship with our self and with others.  The 
concept originated from a realization that people with high IQ may not 
necessarily be able to productively connect, work or interact with others.

People who have cultivated their Emotional Intelligence are generally 
better able to deal with their own internal problems as well as conflict 
with others.  What do the Baha'i Writings and other spiritual traditions 
have to say about cultivating emotional intelligence through spiritual 
means?  How can the virtues of detachment, discernment, and wisdom be 
developed and practiced on a daily level

Directions to the Seminar Room:

 From the lobby just off Pacific Street, take a right and enter through a 
door to the north division of the building.  After walking down a long 
hallway, you'll reach another door.  Enter through this last door and take 
a left to find the Seminar Room.  If there is any trouble entering through 
the first set of doors, the front desk person can offer assistance.
