Sunday Services, Sunday, January 18, 2026, 10:30 A.M.
 

Speaker and Musician: Jim Levinson
Topic:  "Spiritual Direction: Worth a Try?"
Host:  Rob Peck

"Although spiritual direction originated with the Jesuits – meeting with priests to discuss inner lives and spiritual journeys - the approach now extends well beyond Catholicism. In the service, we’ll be going through some of the exercises together, an opportunity to consider whether this might be worth pursuing as individuals."

Jim Levinson served for 25 years as Spiritual Leader of Jewish congregations in Athol MA. and Brattleboro VT. With the latter, Jim co-led the first interfaith Jewish-Muslim service in America and what came to be called "Abraham's Family Reunion". Jim is convener of Compassionate Brattleboro, formed when the town voted to become part of the international Charter for Compassion. Jim's "day job" over the past 50 years has been international development, and he has spent much of that time working in Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as doing graduate teaching at universities in New England. His son Noah operates a maternal-child health program in the slums of Kolkata India, which is the recipient of honorarium Jim is receiving from All Souls. Jim's other passion is classical music.

Rob Peck is a keynote speaker, author, humorist, and recovering perfectionist! His book, It's A Juggle Out There (which he really needs to reread) is a guide to a better balanced and more fulfilling life. His twin careers in circus arts and motivational speaking culminated in a TED talk- punctuating his Bipolar ups and downs with illustrative juggling and balancing acts. (TEDx talk- ReSPARK! Bringing Light to the Darkness of Depression).  Rob also appeared on CBS, NBC, CNBC, and was a featured guest on the Donahue Show (and if you're reading this- odds are you're old enough to have watched one of Phil's pioneering programs) Other cool credits include Harvard University, The International Juggler's Festival in Verona, Italy, and sixteen solo shows at The Smithsonian Institute. But by far Rob's greatest distinction is being Jazz Peck's dad (with All Souls Board Chair a close second)
