Join us for this interactive, experiential hybrid online/in-person experience with Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI), specifically focused for Christian communities. This will be held with online sessions November 24 and December 1, and in-person sessions December 4, 5, and 6.

Developed over 30 years and conducted with thousands of participants across six continents, the GERI process applies principles of Truth and Reconciliation 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.

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

Please join us as we embrace a new form of spiritual healing and reconciliation work that builds trust and connection through a skillful combination of interactive activities, spiritual practice, and transformative group process.
