Talking Circle Experience with Rev Michael Wood

Friday 17th November 2023 • Marion Church of Christ • 1:30pm - 4:30pm

Churches of Christ are a movement of churches that recognise our Unity in Christ and our diversity in practice. To be a group of diverse churches in healthy relationships we need the skills and capacity to navigate difficult conversations. For this reason, we aim to equip church leaders with tools for facilitating effective conversations with meaningful outcomes. To support this goal we invite you to an experience of how a Talking Circle works.

The Talking Circle will be facilitated by The Rev’d Michael Wood. Michael will guide us through the process of how a Talking Circle operates when a topic for discussion has been set Michael is an Anglican Priest and author of the book “Practicing Peace: Theology, Contemplation, and Action”. He has pioneered the use of Open Space Technology, Talking Circle, and Restorative Justice processes in Australia, as paradigms and practical frameworks for church leadership and community life.

This workshop is free and will be spread across 2 sessions.

Limited to the first 12 people to register.
