Growing as Disciples, Rooted in the Way of Love

Becoming beloved community “will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” –Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Becoming Beloved Community Learning Journey is an intensive spiritual formation experience designed to grow disciples and form healers, reconcilers, and justice-makers. This spiritual formation cannot happen alone; others are essential. In community, we will practice together, rooting in Jesus and the Way of Love. The experience includes two in-person retreats and virtual meetings. Participants must commit to attending the entirety of both retreats.

Dates include:
May 11-13: Thursday-Saturday Friday; Procter Camp + Conference Center
A Zoom check-in in July.
August 17-19: Thursday-Saturday; Procter Camp + Conference Center

The Learning Journey is open to all and is rooted in the Episcopal Way and the Jesus wisdom tradition.

As you discern joining the Becoming Beloved Community Learning Journey, please consider the commitment; discipline is necessary for forming discipleship.

Cost is all-inclusive (food/accommodations/materials).
The Diocese of Southern Ohio subsidizes at least half the participants’ expenses.

The sliding scale includes:
Single room: Cost: $475 (supporting community)/$375/$275 (supported by community)
Shared double room: Cost: $375 (supporting community) /$275/$175 (supported by community)

If you are interested and are concerned about the cost, please get in touch with amy@wildrootsinc.com. We believe in an “ask for what you need, offer what you can” approach.

Applications are due by April 1. We will share invitations with participants by April 10. Apply online.

Thank you for your interest in growing as a discipline as part of a community of practice. We believe this is one way for us to Become a Church that Looks and Acts like Jesus.
