"We need a fundamental shift in our values -- a pivot in how we think, act, work, and connect." -- Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD

In March, we offered an Introduction to the work of Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD: From Trauma-Informed Care to Healing-Centered Engagement based on his book, The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves, and the 2024 Workshop Series hosted by Lutheran Services in America in collaboration with ELCA World Hunger: Advancing Equity: Applying Healing-centered Engagement to your Leadership Practice.

In May, we discussed the Awareness Pivot: From Lens to Mirror.

In July, we discussed the Connection Pivot: From Transactional to Transformative.

In September, we discussed the Vision Pivot: From Problem to Possibility.

Join us as we learn together from Dr. Ginwright's book and focus on the fourth pivot. We invite you to read in advance Chapters 10-12 (pages 201-235) on the Presence Pivot: From Hustle to Flow, to "divest from an addiction to frenzy rooted in extractive capitalism to find a calmer, gentler, and more productive flow state."

Bring your observations and questions. In the spirit of hospitality and inclusion, we want you to know that even if you don't have this book or don't have time to read the book, the discussion will be structured to be accessible for everyone. A review of the concepts will be shared, and an invitation to reflect on how these concepts apply to your unique context will be offered.

To answer some commonly asked questions about these regular gatherings:

"Why are you still meeting?" "Don't become too familiar with loneliness. Community is a risk, but liberation depends on the collective. Who can you trust to hold you?" -- Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies

"How can I prepare?" Courageous leaders pay attention and listen actively. We invite you to bring a spirit of curiosity and openness to these gatherings and to all aspects of your life. What are you noticing? Where is Spirit moving? How are you being invited to participate in the work God is already doing, especially outside the walls of the building where the church often gathers?
"What if I'm not a group person?" Courageous leaders take calculated risks. We invite you to take a small step outside your comfort zone and allow yourself to be seen and witnessed. We can almost guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised by the loving, caring, and nurturing nature of community in this time together.
