I was at a conference called Cultivating Spirituality at the Bah#225;'#237; conference center, Green Acre, in Eliot Maine. One of the presenters at the conference was Elena Mustakova-Possardt, a Bulgarian-born educator who came to the United States when communism fell in Eastern Europe, to study at the University of Mass. She focused her doctoral studies on the subject of critical conscientiousness, integrating the heart with the intellect. I was able to pull her aside during the conference to have a few minutes to interview her for A Bah#225;'#237; Perspective. The interview is very "on location" so you hear the comings and goings of the conference participants during the interview.
