Event Details:

How do we close the gap between how we want to live and how we actually live? 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 action that is more like a karate studio than a college lecture hall. 


In this 180 minute workshop, Mark Scandrette will teach from his extensive experience leading groups in shared experiments and practices. Participants will be invited to:




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

    • Connect shared practices with a vision for life in God’s kingdom.

    • Identify areas in your life and and issues in our world that you would like to address through a shared experiment.

    • Generate a list of people that you might experiment with. 

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

    • Commit to doing a shared experiment over the next 30 days.



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