Practice the Practice: Experiential Education for Religious Professionals

 

Do you want to have a deeper understanding of how to lead justice-centered experiential education programming? Do you want to create relationships with a cohort of like-minded religious professionals and have your own experiential education opportunity?

Join us in early 2024 as we run the first cohort of Practice the Practice! This program will involve four online gatherings over the span of four months, with small group check-ins in between. It will culminate in a 4-5 day immersion learning program where we can practice and analyze what we’ve learned. Check out our video for more information!

Creative Lament workshop

Led by Rev. Darrick Johnson, participants explored the practice of lamentation and the ways it could provide support times of grief and sorrow. Participants were invited to craft their own personalized laments through the power of words and art. The password to the video recording below is d6&Eg9Hk

Human Rights organizers, scholars, and advocates led the group through an essential time of learning and grounding.
