Now, perhaps more than ever, our culture needs people who are radically welcoming of others and themselves. Join us as we integrate the gospel call to love our neighbors as ourselves and Nonviolent Communication. This Lenten journey is designed to support people of faith and conscience in living the radical hospitality of Jesus, so needed in these times. Together, we will learn and practice radical hospitality, a rooted receptivity to all that is alive in ourselves and in others.


The six-week journey offers a chance to learn and grow in skills essential for all our relationships. We will draw on the powerful skills of Nonviolent Communication, developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.


Are you interested in becoming a Heart-to-Heart trainer or assistant? Are you interested helping us bring our life-changing work to people in or out of prisons? Then taking this series would be a great introduction.


Each week we will develop our capacity to live the radical hospitality embodied by Jesus
