MORNING: Small Group Discussion Sessions
The conference small group discussions sessions invite participants into an experience exploring dimensions of conversion and faith through the lens of Ignatian Spirituality. The discussions are framed by the morning presentation. We are creating a space for learning and listening to the Creator dealing directly with us. These sessions give us a time for considering, sharing, listening, and an opportunity to synthesize what we are hearing and what it might mean to us.
Every session is facilitated by an ISI team member who will facilitate the conversation with questions for discussions. Each participant is assigned to each of the four small group sessions. We ask participants to please be sure to attend the room to which they are assigned for a given session as seating is only available for those assigned to the session. Small group discussion session assignment designation will be found on the back of the participant nametag.
MORNING | AFTERNOON General Session Panel Discussion:
We ask the question: What are we hearing? What questions or insights are opening? This session is not intended to provide answers as much as it is to explore questions and movements we are noting. The general session panel discussions strive to deepen the small group sessions and allow time for conference participants to ask questions or seek insight directly with panelists.
AFTERNOON Panelist Sessions
These sessions are designed to offer participants an exploration into themes a panelist has interest or expertise. Participants will be assigned to these sessions so every participant will have an opportunity to hear each panelist's presentation.
