Course overview
Being in a Synodal Church calls us to be transformative leaders who can make faith sense of our lives as we seek to navigate these times. A synodal church is grounded in a vision of "culture of encounter," first promoted by Pope Francis and sustained by Pope Leo. A “culture of encounter” is a way of life centered on intentional, respectful and open-hearted engagement with others that builds community. It rejects indifference and transactional relationships in favor of personal connection, listening, and dialogue that sees the "good" in others and recognizes their inherent dignity. In this program, we will explore perspectives and skills that foster a “culture of encounter” and empower transformative Catholic Women Leadership. These include reflective practice, inclusion, emotional intelligence, and generative dialogue. The program provides a transformative learning opportunity to acquire deeper self-awareness, knowledge and skills that will foster your agency as mature Christian disciples in and for the world.
