As a companion to the March 21 session, we will host an informal Zoom conversation to continue exploring the theme of transition and “knowing when to walk away.”

We are pleased that Tom St. John will join us for a reflective dialogue about his own professional and geographic transitions. The tone will be conversational rather than formal, shaped by curiosity rather than presentation.

Some of the guiding questions include:

  • Was leaving Korea a clear decision, or something that unfolded gradually?
  • What push and pull factors influenced that decision?
  • What parts of teaching have stayed with you?
  • What does a “good exit” look like now?

We will follow what feels meaningful in the moment, with no expectation to address every prompt. The intention is to create space for honest reflection for members who may be quietly asking similar questions about their own futures — and simply to reconnect as a community.
