Patience Robbins has been attracted to the work of the Center for Dynamic Community Governance since coming to Greenbelt in 2016. She has an MA in Religious Studies and has been working in the area of spirituality for over 40 years, leading groups, mentoring people, teaching about prayer and offering spiritual guidance to people throughout the country. Patience is inspired by the work of the Center because it is congruent with her values of listening to both self and others, claiming and speaking one’s wisdom and nurturing creativity and connection.
