Transformation for Ministry
A Monday night offering from Mother Julia+
 

Transformation for Ministry is a class grounded in the exploration of transformational practices to attend to the nurturing of spaciousness for the growth of freedom, joy, and courage in discipleship, prophetic imagination, and ministry of presence.
 
We will meet for nine Monday evenings, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m., interspersed from February through May.
 
Because creation of community is an essential part of this experience, committed attendance at all classes, as well as completion of assigned practices, readings, and reflective writing is expected. The work load is not heavy, but a commitment to regular practice and completion is essential.
 
Will you join me? This is an offering that has been developing in my heart for over ten years, and I am so delighted that it is coming to fruition!
 
The dates for this class are: February 4, February 18, March 4, March 18, March 25, April 8, April 29, May 6, and May 13. 
 
Pre-registration is required. Please email Mo. Julia+, ([email protected]), to register or for further questions.
