Organizing

Giving emerging possibility practical form.

A season, not a stage

The Seasons of Shalom are recurring practices rather than a linear program. A community may inhabit more than one season at the same time, and may return to a season whenever faithful life requires it.

The practice

Align people, time, resources, structures, and experiments with what the community is discerning rather than preserving activity for its own sake.

Use the framework as discernment.

The work is not to move forward as quickly as possible, but to notice which practices are needed now and to inhabit them faithfully.
