About the event
SPECIAL TWO-HOUR SUNDAY WORKSHOP
Ever wonder why some people seem stuck in their ways, like cranky Uncle Bob who just can’t
see things from a different perspective? Or why others embrace change and new ideas with
open arms?
The answer lies in Spiral Dynamics, a groundbreaking framework that reveals how
humans grow, think, and evolve through stages of consciousness.
Join us for this engaging, revealing, and interactive 2-hour workshop, where we’ll dive into the
hidden patterns behind behavior, beliefs, and conflict. With insights from Rev. Dr. Jim
Lockard’s book, “Creating the Beloved Community” and “Bruce Sanguin’s, “The Emerging
Church,” we’ll explore how these developmental stages show up in our families, communities,
and even within ourselves.
You’ll discover:
✅ Why people like Uncle Bob resist change (and how to respond with compassion).
✅ The levels of consciousness that shape how we see the world.
✅ How to foster understanding and growth in your relationships and community.
This workshop isn’t just about understanding—it’s about transforming. Together, we’ll learn how
to create a more inclusive, vibrant, and harmonious life and community by applying the wisdom
of Spiral Dynamics.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe even your crankiest “Uncle Bob” stories. Let’s
unravel the mystery of human behavior and build bridges where walls once stood.
Please print this handout and bring a pen or pencil on Sunday:
Come for the laughs, stay for the insights. Transform your perspective—and maybe even your
Uncle Bob’s!
