Curious about Facilitating a Covenant Group?
Covenant groups are a primary way that we experience deeply connected community within All Souls. Those facilitating create the space for trust, curiosity, and discovery by welcoming participants, guiding the flow of the session, and holding space for personal reflection. Support includes trainings and monthly thematic packets. Learn more about becoming a facilitator this fall.
