(Registration now closed) GERI for Christian Communities — Unveiling Patriarchy — Pathways to Healing and Restoration for women and men

January 18 – March 1, 2023:
8am – 11am Pacific Time

Join us for this interactive, experiential online course with Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI), specifically focused for Christian communities.

Developed over 30 years and conducted with thousands of participants across six continents, the GERI process applies principles of the Truth and Reconciliation process that was pioneered by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to begin a process of healing divisions across humanity. Our journey on this course will take us through the often-muted attitudes, fears, shame and brokenness of patriarchal society, to reclaim and restore the mutual harmony, respect and collaboration intended for men and women as God’s image bearers.

We leave behind our busy agendas and together create a safe non-judgmental space for attentive listening as we begin to unravel the truth of our gendered experiences. Gradually, a deeper level of empathy and understanding unfolds to reveal tangible pathways to re-form and re-imagine gender relations that move toward forgiveness, healing and the restoration of relationships.

Join us online for seven sessions, each Wednesday from January 18^th to March 1^st (8am – 11am PST), as we embrace a new form of spiritual healing and reconciliation work that builds trust and compassionate communication through a skillful combination of interactive activities, spiritual practice, and transformative group process.
