This training is part of the SOKY District Conference with the theme of Breathing in the Beloved.  We will focus on being fully present with each other as we enter into Crucial Christian Conversations Prompts #6 & #7 of the Standing with People of Color resources. While this document was written to address Racial Justice,  we have modified it with permission to apply to any Crucial Christian Conversation. We have held three pre-conference meetings to look at questions 1-4. Now we will consider:

#5. Imagine if things were different and there was less conflict. What do you envision?

#6 What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that goal?

 

Before the training begins, join us at 8:45am to ground yourself with the group through breath and body prayer.  (Feel free to bring a yoga mat.)

 

Your registration includes 6 hours of Kingian Nonviolence Training with a workbook for you to take home.
