You have been preparing all your life to lead a conversation on something - come prepared to engage that conversation but don’t stress on the preparation. Currently options include ‘lightning talks’ (your 5minutes of fame to spark more conversations), sacred space installation, labyrinth, teepee time, a tech hub, activist hub, conversations on community leadership and conflict, sleep out in a slum experience, a kids quest, sumo suit and music + your ideas/talents we would enjoy??
Also, there will be a space set aside for participants to propaganda/promote their group, cause, next action, t-shirt, study, book…. you get the idea. (byo for your promo space)
If you are at a junction where you need to think and chat about your vocation and the direction of your life with active, prayerful and wise mentors and co-travelers … there will be a bunch at praxis>09 to bounce ideas with.
If you are a family that is interested in connecting social justice and spirituality then this gathering has space for your needs. The site is well equipped for free play and organised chaos
Put this in your diaries and help shape what we do here in the comments bit- From the evaluation of last time - the toasted stories around campfires seemed very popular last time as did informal discussion time and the space to pray and relax with family and like minded or at least interesting people. Having content was good, as was free time and including families was great.

So now I have included the dates for the gathering on the post. Thanks peeps for emailing me about the small oversight
I’m oh so hoping to make it to this year’s
Excellent! The tech hub idea may fly then. If you can bring a mob and spam the gathering that would be great. tooooo.
[...] So have a look at the program and think about your lightning talks. (oh and assume that the option of “whatever” runs through the morepraxis gathering) [...]
