This is a pre-conference offering. The number of participants is limited to 35 people. Package begins with arrival after dinner, Thursday evening, May 15; program begins with breakfast on Friday, May 16 and ends with lunch on Sunday, May 18. The seminar will close with two final sessions during workshop time on Monday, 5/19 and Tuesday, 5/20. The seminar is designed to help you name and bless the stories of tragedy (death) and redemption (resurrection) that have been used by God to make you a unique revelation of God’s story. This seminar will be built on three assumptions: • • • Your story brought you into this work and it is imperative for you to know and love the story God has written in and through your life. We are in a war, at times, against our own story, and due to fear, shame, or anger, we often fail to know our own story. It takes profound courage to look into the face of death and resurrection. Engaging our story is best done with others in community who equally want to know God in and through the stories he has written for us to live. Dan will lead the teaching sessions and you will be invited to tell your story in small groups with facilitators who are graduates of The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Each participant will be asked to listen to a podcast about story before they write an 800-1000 word story. A story must be submitted before the conference and the group leader will interact with your writing during the week. Those who would like to join in this special offering will be required to submit an application form and will be notified, in advance, of their acceptance into the seminar. Application to attend the seminar is due by 2/15/14. Notifications will be made shortly thereafter with further information. If your application to attend this seminar is accepted, please contact Marion Kobow, [email protected] OR (920) 294-7329, to register. The total cost per person to attend the pre-conference seminar and the ICAP Global Conference is $916 for a single room or $625 for a double room (includes room, meals and program fee; state sales tax is additional for food and beverage). Post-conference Extended-Stay Package: An invitation from Lauran Bethell is being offered to those who would like to stay after the conference to relax, decompress and enjoy the beauty of the conference center grounds. There will be no scheduled program—just time to enjoy fellowship—or solitude—as you wish. Lone Tree Lodge, within reasonable walking distance of the main conference area, has been reserved for lodging and a group gathering place, for use by this group only. Meals will be in the same location as for the ICAP conference. In addition to the cost of the ICAP Global Conference, the cost of this extended-stay package, per person, is $285 for a single room, $192 for a double room, or $176 for a triple room (begins with Friday, 5/23 dinner and ends with Monday, 5/26 breakfast). If you would like to participate in this offering, please contact Marion Kobow to register.
