Leadership Training in the Art of Hosting Conversations & Creating Spaces For Innovation and Creativity
|
 | The space between us is the playground of the Spirit.

Presbyteries are the new hot spots for the change and transformation that is happening in our denomination. We do not yet know what established churches could become or what new types of Christian communities may emerge. In this uncharted environment, leaders can't predict or control what will emerge, but we can cultivate sacred conversations that invite new possibilities, evoke passion, encourage creativity and support innovation. Hosting The Spirit is training workshop designed for presbytery and church leaders who are seeking new wisdom and tools for creating a culture of innovation, creativity and emergence. At the workshop Leaders will: - Learn when and how to apply conversation and process tools for congregational and presbytery gatherings. (i.e. Theory U, Passion Summit, Conversation Caf�, Open Source Technologies).
- Explore creative ways to visually harvest what the Spirit is saying and doing in ways other than written minutes and reports.
- Discover new forms of personal and pastoral identity (i.e. The leader as "conversation alchemist").
- Discern how to evoke and invite all voices to be heard so collective intelligence, passion and intention can surface.
- Cultivate their own inward capacity to "hold space" for the church and Presbytery which wants to emerge.
- Create optimal conditions for innovative ministries and new communities to be born and develop their own resources and structure for support.

The training can be facilitated over a two day retreat or focused into a day long experience as needed. The Workshop is especially designed for those who create and facilitate meetings (i.e. pastors, presbytery moderators. committee leaders).
