Download registration form (PDF)
We have firmed up the details of the Kaleidoscope Institute in the Northwest at Camp Berachah, in Auburn, Wash. Please see the registration form links at the top or bottom of this page to sign up for the workshop.
This course content is equivalent to the first course of our Summer Institute in Los Angeles, except it will be more relaxed and with more in-depth discussion about specific applications of the models, theories and skills, because we have an extra day to work with.
Rather than being an orientation of the KI skills and models (like the one offered in Los Angeles), this training program will take the next step in helping participants to apply what they learn to their ministries in concrete and specific ways. Because most of the participants are from the Northwest, the possibilities for networking and working together will increase.
Also, this program will allow people from the Northwest to participate without the added expenses of traveling to Los Angeles for this training. Of course people outside of the Northwest area can register for this event as well. I have been told that the fresh moist air in Washington is an added value to this training.
If you are interested in coming, please e-mail us immediately to let us know and then send in your registration form. We will need to have at least 20 to make this a go.
