“Divine Liberation, we acknowledge our place in a world marked by systems of exploitation. Let us open our hearts to how these systems live and move through us. May we move toward freedom, together.” ~ Kat Armas

Program Description

This workshop explores how empire’s values shape our lives, communities, and ministries—and how real change begins by confronting that formation within ourselves. Together, we will reflect on the ideologies of empire, name their presence in our daily practices and beliefs, and consider what it looks like to resist through intentional unlearning and re-formation.

Our time will include teaching, reflection, the practice of lectio divina, and candle lighting.

We will turn on closed captioning during the live Zoom session (which you are able to turn off in your settings if you find distracting) as well as provide a video recording with closed captioning available and a text transcript of the session within 24 hours. You will be sent a notification when this is ready to view.

You have lifetime access to all online programs.
