About Confessional Community Training® Program

Confessional Community Training Program®

We equip caregivers to lead others as they form meaningful connections, cultivate greater spiritual depth, and imagine a truer version of their stories. Our program weaves together Christian spiritual formation and the work of psychotherapy. We draw from interpersonal neurobiology, process group psychotherapy, and other related theories. Participants will learn through experience, observation, and teaching.
