Since the release of Slow Church in June 2014, we have spoken in nearly 100 venues around North America — from backyards and living rooms, to churches, colleges and universities, and performance halls. These include intimate curated conversations with a dozen people, keynote presentations in front of 800 people, and weekend-long retreats.
We speak regularly on subjects related to Slow Church, reading and writing, asset-based community development, and neighborhood flourishing. Our presentations are flexible in length and in their use of multimedia. You can choose from a list of topics, or we can connect by phone or video chat to tailor a topic more closely aligned to your audience, event, and venue.
