Description
We are living in a liminal period – an in between period. We have one foot in what has been and the other foot in what will be. Such periods create uncertainty and confusion. We do not know the way forward or even where we are going. These periods are also ripe with new possibilities, calling us to be creative, try new things, and listen deeply to Spirit. Susan Beaumont’s book brings rich insight and collective practices for engaging these periods and opening ourselves to what is seeking to emerge. Let’s explore this together, and harvest our collective wisdom. We are better together!

Description
A minister’s journey with a ministry comes in three phases; the beginning or introduction, the middle and the end or good-by. This course is intended for seminary students close to ordination or ministers in the field interested in any one or all three phases of the journey. Navigating the employment process with Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWM) is the first step. The second phase begins once the minister is hired and the contract is negotiated. This phase is all about entering a new ministry intentionally and mindfully creating new relationships in the spiritual dance. The last phase (preferably many years later) begins when guidance says it’s time to leave. It’s a time to move forward with an open heart, prayerfully co-creating a plan for the minister and the congregation with UWM for a healthy and sacred ending.
Suggested Love Offering: $105.00
