Upcoming virtual series: Beyond the Surface
Maybe you call it an abundant life. Maybe you call it justice or liberation. How can we go beyond the surface to embody our values and build a more just world, even if (only? especially?) in our own sphere? Can we and/or how do we know deep joy amidst injustice?
Many of us desire connection with individuals and groups who are challenging injustice and striving for deep joy. Move from the sidelines or shorelines to shallow waters to deeper waters. Wade in, dive in, just join in this six week series of conversations about “going deeper.”
Week 1 | Getting Deep: Beyond “Issues,” Looking at Our Values and/or Faith Journeys
Week 2 | Going Deeper: Our Traveling Companions and Building/Being in Community
Week 3 | Going Deeper: Taking Good Care of Each Other and Ourselves
Week 4 | Going Deeper: Inaction and Taking Action
Week 5 | Deeper Still: Action and (Holy) Ordinary Moments
Week 6 | Deep Joy
While each week can stand alone, we hope you’ll participate as often as possible to build upon the themes and build deep connections with others. In addition to conversation and reflection, each week will highlight a group or organization that is deeply involved in justice work; using a model or approach that goes beyond the surface to meet a need. What is your “beyond”? Email us to receive a related sermon from the Rev. Melissa Guthrie and wander with her and with Salvage Garden Beyond the Surface. Type Beyond in the subject line. We will send a notification when registration opens.
Is this a training? Is this a book study?
We describe each Beyond Series as a group project. With the inherent gifts and challenges of group work, participants co-create the experiences and outcomes. Deep(er) connections with others. Deep(er) justice work. What is your “beyond”?
