CDC Spiritual Connection March 2025 with Kacey Morabito-Grean

Description

How Development Follows Service

Kacey Morabito Grean is the (brand new) Executive Director of the Holy Mountain Retreat Ceneter at Graymoor in Garrison, NY - a place she's been visiting since she was 10 years old.  Kacey has been hosting a health and wellness podcast and running retreats for women for more than 10 years.  5 years ago, she founded the nonprofit Let It Shine which runs a food pantry, thrift store and pop-up markets.  It may sound like a lot, but Kacey does just one thing - she gathers love and gives it away.  Her passion in business in knowing who you serve! And that's the topic of this morning's conversation.

About Spiritual Connection: On the first Friday of each month, a featured 

speaker will lead a 30-minute virtual discussion. Spiritual Connection provides CDC members a brief opportunity to get inspired by topics with a faith-based twist - and to decompress from your busy schedules!

The content will be spiritual in nature, but topics are not necessarily about fundraising, although they certainly may be relevant to development. They may include a current event, a devotional piece, tips about health, a passage from a book, etc.—it is really up to the speaker to decide!

Speakers will introduce a topic in which they are passionate, and lead participants through a 10-15-minute presentation or talk, followed by a facilitated discussion on their topic with the entire group.

We hope participants will feel a little sense of renewal after the 30 minutes, fresh in their thoughts, connected to this community, and looking forward to next month’s Spiritual Connection.
