Event Details:

With increasing awareness of the holistic nature of the gospel, many of us are conscious of the need for new approaches to discipleship. Too often our methods of spiritual formation are individualistic, information driven or disconnected from the details of every day life. If Jesus of Nazareth demonstrated and taught a revolutionary way of love that is actually possible, alive with healing and hope, then we need paths for experiencing that revolution in the details of our daily lives. Perhaps what we need is a Jesus Dojo, a shared path for growth that is more like a karate studio than a college lecture hall. 


In this 120 minute workshop, Mark Scandrette will teach from his extensive experience leading groups in shared experiments and practices inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus. This training will:



  • Explore the role of embodied practice in the teachings of Jesus.

  • Connect shared practices with a theology of formation and vision for life in God’s kingdom.

  • Consider real life stories of group formation and social action

  • Imagine tangible steps we can take to invite others into shared experiments and formation practices. 


A copy of Mark's new book, Practicing the Way of Jesus, is included with $20 registration fee( $15 retail).  



Mark A. Scandrette is the founding director of ReImagine, a spiritual formation center based in San Francisco. He has extensive experience providing leadership in churches and community-based organizations and has been a minister, writer and spiritual teacher for twenty years. Mark speaks nationally and internationally, leads retreats and provides mentoring and coaching to leaders. He is also the author of Soul Graffiti (Jossey-Bass, 2007).
