The program is a mix of three intensive weekends led by Matthew and other guest facilitators, including Reverend Rhetta Morgan, Joshua Kahn Russell, and Erva Baden. A brief outline is below:

-- June 28- July 1 Reconnection: Spiritual Grounding to Interrupt the Status Quo�
-- August 16-19 Resistance: Embracing the Trickster�
-- October 25-28 Resilience: Death is Not an Ending

The experiential curriculum will help participants:
-- Gain knowledge and skills in effective social action organizing;
-- Give and receive support in ongoing social justice work outside the course; and
-- Deepen spiritual practices that will build resilience in carrying on the work.

There will be some online/webinar work in-between these weekends to support application of learning, and participants’ individual goals.

The application is open now, and financial assistance is available! If you need financial assistance it is requested that you submit the separate financial assistance application.

"My dad was at the Vatican with a delegation from Iowa. He was a lowly priest and was not supposed to come to the special audience that his bishop was to have with the pope. After petitioning to come, his bishop allowed him to join, but told him to be silent and in the background, and to leave before the honorary picture with his holiness at the conclusion. But Pope John the 23rd, before he became pope, did prison ministry and loved social justice work. After hearing that my dad was part of a criminal justice reform effort and did prison ministry, the pope wanted to talk to him all about it. He was not interested as much in the conversation with the bishop.

"After the audience with his holiness, the pope pulled my dad into the picture and put him at his right hand for the photo. My dad thought this was so funny, that he was at the right hand of the holy father, and the bishop was on the left. My dad made many copies of the picture and gave it out to his friends. He told the story while laughing at his resistance to church hierarchy. I think his bishop probably was not too happy."
