This interactive workshop will give you practical tools to weather the ups and downs of refugee ministry plus many of the current challenges we face in life. Get a practical understanding of what trauma is (and is not), how it affects the whole person, how to walk alongside people in a hard place, and simple ways to bring peace, calm and safety to your own soul that you also can model for others.

You will:

• Meet others doing local refugee ministry

• Gain a practical understanding of "big T" and "little t" trauma and what kinds of things people need in those situations

• Listen to your body and hear what it is saying to you!

• Practice soul-care activities that restore well-being, hope, and even joy!

• Identify things you've done that really do help others, and hear new ideas from those around you

• See how resilient your refugee friends really are, and learn from them

• Put together a set of activities that help you (and others, too) return to joy and act like yourself again after hardship

• And, hopefully, laugh a bit!

You'll leave refreshed, equipped, and encouraged!

Sat., June 10 from 9-noon in Mesa. Includes lunch prepared by a refugee neighbor! Learn more and register here.
