We’re very happy to announce Dr. Bob Weathers as a new trustee on the KWGF Board of Trustees. Our dear friend and colleague Lynne Feldman had to resign from the Board due to personal issues. Thank you, Lynne, for your service. We love you.

I have known Dr. Bob Weathers for a number of years, both as a friend and as a colleague, and I have found him to be a man of great erudition, wisdom, compassion, humor, and loving kindness. Now let us hear from Bob in his own words.

I first encountered Ken’s writings at the beginning of graduate school, starting in 1979. He was young and brilliant. I was . . . young. His ideas formed the basis of my entire doctoral studies, in psychology and religion, and led to my corresponding very helpfully (and gratefully) with him through my mid-1980s dissertation on mindfulness meditation.

I’ve taught Ken’s materials across the decades, from A Sociable God to Sex, Ecology, Spirituality to Marriage of Sense and Soul. I doubt there’s a graduate student in psychology whom I’ve taught or supervised who hasn’t been directly influenced by Ken’s enormous contributions.

This opportunity to give back now, even in some small way, in deep appreciation for all Ken has been in my personal and professional life, is my greatest joy and privilege.

Ken, the brilliance, scope and necessity of your work, your presence, kindness, consistency, vulnerability, willingness to share, courage, leadership and so much more are a priceless gift to humanity and to individuals like myself. I’d give you the world. We need to give it to one another. I’m intimately aware of the realities of chronic illness, mystery illness, and chronic pain and as you’ve said, it’s something you couldn’t bear to place on another human being. I hold my awakened journey of development in the highest regard, yet, in some ways it pales in comparison to the possibilities presented along the journey of chronic illness and pain. Your essence and your work has been and continues to be a light in my life. Your example of resilience and persistence in the face of illness continues to be a source of inspiration. I don’t like to consider human beings as having flaws per se (often illness is perceived as a flaw-if only I/he/she didn’t have THAT), rather we are the infinite example of Life’s potential to express infinite variety. The particular compilation that is YOU is quite STELLAR. Keep on keepin’ on. <3
