Alive to Love: Free introductory session

Online, Wednesday 15 July 9:30-11:30am

Facilitator: Dr John Steward, based on his book From Genocide to Generosity.

Come and get a feel for the power of the content of the course - with no obligation to sign up.

Who is this course for? We are all impacted by changes in our environment and the upsurge of violence, misuse of power, sexism, racism and viral disruption. Our world turns in a whirlpool of wars, deceit, inertia, poverty & mental health challenges that can spawn despair. This may lead to loss of purpose, the decay of hope and strained relations. Such was the situation in Rwanda thirty years ago. Many survivors had deep scars - grief, bitterness, loss and hopelessness. Some Rwandan friends asked to share with the world their stories of restoring dignity & purpose after traumatic times. Their generous gesture is the basis of this Course. You will be learning from Rwandans who have regained hope and became Alive to Love!

About John Steward:

Since 1997 John has focused on recording the stories, while monitoring change and progress in Rwanda and encouraging the peace-builders who led local personal recovery efforts after the genocide. Such Rwandans, who know a passion for peace, help us imagine a world where we may also become peace-makers by first being at peace in myself.

Recommendations:

“I am really keen to promote this course with all of our Spiritual Direction students at the Living Well Centre ... I would love to see this course much more highly “plugged” amongst our community and students as a very ‘necessary’ extension and deepening of their ministry to [directees].” Fiona Garrigan (Co-director of the Living Well Centre)

One participant wrote: “The sessions never failed to reveal some new facet and insight, making the experience imbued with the light of compassion and wisdom”. Another said: “This course helped me be more like the person I wish to be...one more capable of sharing God’s love and forgiveness”
