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).

So many of us want to live in the way of Jesus—pursuing a life that is deeply soulful, connected to our real needs and good news to our world. Yet 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 a path 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. 

Mark A. Scandrette is the founding director of ReImagine, a spiritual formation center based in San Francisco that invites people into integrative spiritual experiments and practices with an emphasis on creativity, community building and social action. 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 lectures with the U.S. Center for World Missions, leads retreats and workshops, mentors pastors and leaders, and provides life coaching and spiritual direction. He is the author of Soul Graffiti (Jossey-Bass, 2007) and a contributor to several other books.

Event Details:

“Blessed are the peace makers, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9

“Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” Mark 9:50

Let’s be honest—conflict is an inevitable part of any human relationship. When my brokenness rubs up against your brokenness, misunderstandings develop, feelings get hurt, expectations are unmet and we feel disrespected or slighted. We often have a tendency to react to one another out of our insecurities and fears, or project the wounds we’ve received from others. And some people are just hard for us to like. We have disagreements with others because we see things from such different perspectives. And sometimes we do things, whether intentionally or not, that are plainly hurtful and wrong. We break promises and confidences. We make mistakes. We get angry and say things we regret. The question isn’t “will there be conflict?” but “how we will handle conflict when it arises?” Will we get angry? Retaliate? Become defensive? Ask others to take up our offense? Or seek restoration and forgiveness?

One of the most radical aspects of the message of Jesus was his teachings about living in reconciled relationships. Life in the kingdom of Love is about learning to be at peace with one another through a source of love that is greater than our own. In this four week Learning Lab we will support each other to take steps to:

(1) Tenaciously forgive those who have wronged us.

(2) Seek reconciliation from those we have wronged.

(3) Deal directly with those who we have been wronged by. 

Each session will begin with a simple soup supper, followed by large group instruction and small group activities and group process. 

Thursdays May 12th-June 2nd 7-9 P.M.

Event Details:

In an age dominated by hurry, distraction and busyness, we long for practices that can help us become more centered, mindful, and open to the presence and voice of the Spirit. Jesus modeled a practice of daily silence and solitude that empowered his life of revolutionary love. This one night forum will provide a brief orientation to the historic role of contemplative prayer in Judeo-christian tradition and an opportunity to practice 40 minutes of group stillness prayer. 

Facilitated by Mark Scandrette. Mark is the founding director of ReIMAGINE, author of SOUL GRAFFITI and the forthcoming book, Practicing the Way of Jesus (IVP June 2011).
