Our JEDI Team invites you to this FREE (or by donation) workshop, but pre-registration is required. Please email sam@samdarling.com to register.
This in-person workshop with Sam Darling explores rupture and repair and how confident self-expression nurtures radical inclusion.
Community is built on connection and trust. We may think that connection will be threatened by ruptures to it, ruptures we must prevent as leaders. However, in the dynamic space of rupture real connection is made possible – because of the essential work of repair. Being trauma-informed in our leadership enables communities to face the hard work of justice and care and what it takes to welcome, not avoid, rupture.
This workshop is for those who want to be empowered in their communities in embracing truth-telling, healing wrongs, and building environments of safety and reconnection. Participants will learn how to use their inherent gifts as creative and heart-centered individuals to make spaces that are welcoming and whole.
Please email Sam if you’d like to attend the January 15th session (1-4pm in the Sanctuary).
