That question is being asked by more folks than ever as we enter
the year 3 AP (After Pandemic). There is revolution brewing in the economy,
in politics, in technology, in the runaway climate, and in the
relationship between human beings and work! The eye of the 21st century
made hard landfall in March 2020 and it is relentless in its capacity
for disruption.
Given how different
everything looks, millions of folks are
reexamining many things, including ministry careers. This is
expected in the middle years anyway, but right now people are hitting
their rethink in storm conditions that impede clear thinking and
centered praying.
So at Epicenter Group, Gary
Shockley and I are inviting a cohort to journey with us in the first
part of 2022, as we seek to gain clarity and to prepare for some bold
personal moves and pivots in the days ahead! We will do deep Enneagram
work (forget the cheesy internet tests!), some contemplative practice
and an appreciative inquiry directed at what our life narrative
to date teaches us as we look ahead across the 2020s and beyond. We plan
to use the book Body of Work by Pam Slim as a resource during the Lenten portion of the cohort.
We are calling this Imagining What’s Next! With both group and individual sessions, cost
is $395 for the entire experience. The
experience starts Tuesday February 1 at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT. Individual sessions are scheduled around
participant availability. However most of the group work (Feb 1, March 8,
15, 22, April 5, 26, May 10 ) will be on Tuesday afternoons at the time listed. (We will not meet during Holy Week or Easter
Week.) 1.0 CEU will be offered to each
participant.
For more information or to sign up for Imagining What’s Next please reach out to us at epicentergroup.dc@gmail.com and flag your email with the word Imagine in the subject line.
It
is truly a wondrous and epic moment of history. Too many of us are
allowing fatigue and obsolete ministry thinking steal from us the joy
and possibilities of living … and leading… in this moment!
Merry Christmas to each of you!
Paul, Beth, Justin, Sandy, Gary and Rachel at The Epicenter Group
