Narrative Leadership Retreat

February 5-8, 2012 Washington, D.C.

This introduction to narrative leadership will engage ministers in narrative thought and practices that can illuminate the way they lead. Participants will:

Be invited to identify and explore their personal stories in relation to biblical narrative.
Be asked to reflect on ways these personal and Biblical stories may disclose how one leads others.
Participate in a narrative case presentation practice that places people in a reflecting or overhearing position.
Explore theological themes in narrative practice.
Have time for play and rest.

The desired outcome of the workshop is that participants will understand basic ideas of narrative work, have a clearer sense of their personal stories, know how to facilitate case presentations using a narrative approach, have curiosity about theological perspectives that inform narrative practice, and leave more rested than they were when they arrived.

Leaders: Steve Graham and Keith Herron
