Come To Our Community Orientation Course (June 24 – July 8, 2017)

We would like to invite people who may be interested an intensive course with the Waiters ( waitersunion.org ) in West End, Brisbane mid-year. The course is a two-week, grass-roots, face-to-face, show-and-tell, do-it-and-discuss-it intro to compassionate Christ-like community work. Most of the time participants live in a joint household, but will be able to stay over night now and then with people in the community. The course includes personal reflection, interpersonal interaction, group process, cooperative organisation, whole-hearted holistic engagement, cross-cultural dialogue, practical service and nonviolent direct action. It includes a range of inputs from Aboriginals, refugees and people with disabilities and people in the community who accompany them. The costs of the course are decided by the participants in a group cost-sharing work-shop, that we run as part of the course.
