Internationally Renowned
"Daily Life Events" Training
FREE

Tuesday, October 21 and Wednesday, October 22 

Train the Trainer, Thursday, October 23 

8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

The Peace Learning Center, Indianapolis, IN 

 

We met Leon Fulchur in New Zealand and learned that he has co-authored an international training program call "Daily Life Events - DLE."  He is presenting the training in Toronto in October and has agreed to come to Indiana to provide the training for us.  And he is offering a certified "DLE" training, so we can have the resource here in Indiana available to other youth serving organizations.  It's a $250 training that is absolutely free to the first 10 Journey Fellows.  The training is appropriate for all youth workers but has particular application for youth workers in residential and juvenile youth services. Read more about the training here

 

So don't delay - register today by emailing Melinda

Any questions, give us a call.

The Risks of Reconciliation 

Tuesday, September 23, 2014, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Howard L. Shrott Center for the Arts,  

Butler University, 4600 Sunset Avenue 

Indianapolis, IN, 46208   

 

In pious portrayals of the subject, the risks and challenges of reconciliation are often left out of the picture, as is the question: Is it worth it? A frank discussion of the theological roots of reconciliation work will inaugurate this series of lectures as we explore the hazards of pursuing the politics of reconciliation in our time.

Admission is free.
