SUMMARY:Inhabit Conference Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Registration through LeaderShift for Inhabit is now closed\, but we want you know about and be connected to this creative event (self-directed registration is still an option\, click here for more information). \nLeaderShift is providing funding to offset costs for 40 people to attend the event!\, and we’re offering local learning groups as a way to deepen learning and increase the effective application of ideas from Inhabit Conference. These local groupings are called cohort learning groups. Each cohort learning group is facilitated and supported by a Regional Minister\, and Rob Shearer is convening a cohort of people who are involved in new church plants. \nThere are United Church participants attending Inhabit on their own\, and who are keen to be connected to the LeaderShift initiative. We’re keen on that too! The Regional Minister supporting each cohort learning group will be in touch with those participants. We’re hoping for intentional pre-conference and post-conference gatherings – fostering our collective ability to sustain change\, and apply our learning. \nStay connected to Inhabit and Parish Collective work\, and to LeaderShift’s social media for updates and highlights from cohort adventures this April!
