This workshop is a resource for small group leaders (either current or future) who desire to engage small group participants in soul care and spiritual formation. This would also be great for anyone interested in forming a Gospel Friendship group.
You will understand how to establish a safe environment for participants to encounter Jesus as they journey together. You will learn how to cultivate authenticity and vulnerability as members pay attention to their hearts, emotions, bodies, and minds through a variety of practices.
You will leave the workshop equipped to develop your own soul care small group.
The workshop includes:
· Establishing your group goals and guidelines.
· Foundational practices of listening with empathy, practicing discernment, leading group Lectio Divina (Prayerful Bible Reading), and more.
· An eight-week soul care group curriculum to get you started. Lectio Divina is combined with a variety of creative elements, including, watercolor, visual art, coloring prayer, and more.
· Ideas and recommended resources to help develop your own sessions.
The cost is $50
