Experience authenticity, vulnerability, critical reflection, and transformation
Here at the De Pree Center, we believe that some of the most transformative learning happens in the company of others. That's why we offer cohort experiences—small groups of people on a journey together under the care of a trained guide. In these groups, you'll experience environments that both encourage authenticity as well as vulnerability and promote courageous critical reflection, especially in moments of difficulty and dissonance. Each cohort experience invites you into a process through which you can attend to the Spirit’s leading and discern God’s call for your life. You will learn practices that will help you continue to grow long after the cohort is over.
Road Ahead
If you find yourself stuck at a crossroads, not knowing which way to take, Road Ahead helps you get unstuck and discern your next steps. Rooted in research and refined over time, our process is designed to help you address your work-related pain points so that you can move with confidence into the work God is calling you to do. Your life, relationships, and work will be transformed.
Go the Distance
If you’re feeling a bit weary or need a little boost to help you persevere on your path, Go the Distance helps you re-imagine your future and take steps toward it. The research-based process underlying this six-week experience will give you a sense of renewal and equip you to enter your next season with more intentionality as you take steps to live in alignment with God’s calling.
