Come see Conrad and me!*
Are you going to be in Phoenix this summer for the Rostered Leaders Gathering? Me too! There'll be a HUGE "Interaction Room" and Living the Resurrection will have a table there! Conrad and I will be there and ready to play a round of Vitality Quest with you -- or just chat!!
*Sorry I don't have a picture of Conrad behind the table, and my photoshop skills are limited. He is more than a floating head -- come and see!
Plus!
I’ll be offering two workshops:
On Tuesday afternoon:
Hopeful Frustration: Listening to Emotions
On Wednesday afternoon:
Hopeful Frustration: A Practical Process.
You know it will be WAY TOO HOT to go outside – so stay cool and attend my workshop! Once you’ve experienced Hopeful Frustration you can decide if it would be helpful to share in your context and we can book it for the Fall.
