Listening Group Orientation 2400x1350 web 4

Renovaré Listening Groups are a unique small group experience that creates a safe space for listening to God, one another, and our own hearts. These groups eliminate advice-giving and create generous space to value God’s voice over our own.

This Orientation Workshop is the entry-point to learn about and participate in Renovaré Listening Groups. It will:

  • Introduce you to some of the Renovaré Core Ideas
  • Orient you to the posture and practice of Listening Groups
  • Offer you a sample experience of the Listening Group liturgy
  • Provide you with practical guidance and connections for forming groups

All attendees will receive the Listening Group Booklet and access to a directory to help facilitate connections.

Whether you’re new to Listening Groups or have participated before, this workshop will equip you to engage in this practice of listening for our transformation, the world’s good, and God’s everlasting glory.

Due to the interactive nature of the workshop, it will not be recorded. However, if you register and are unable to make the session, you can apply your registration to any future Orientation.

Wednesday, August 26 · 6 – 9pm EDT · $75
Also available at lower cost to remove financial barriers.
