This is a two day participatory course for change agents stepping up to leadership roles in
the community who want to deepen their foundationsfor working effectively in their communities.
You’ll be sharing lessons and insights with everyone there learning from the collective
wealth of experience in the group how not only to develop your own leadership but also
how to ramp up your team back home.

There’ll be a chance to act, as well as to be still. This is a dynamic guided facilitated
experience on the strategies that really matter, now while keeping emergence and
empowerment the central cogs of the process.

Your workshop facilitators are two imports from Auckland. Finn Mackesy and Daniel Nepia
are both gardeners, permaculture designers and social activists. Daniel’s weekday job is
working with youth with gang backgrounds; Finn’s is in the classroom with primary school
kids. They have been partners for change leading workshops together for over four years.
Drawing on a combo of influences from urban design, deep ecology, social anthropology and
creative facilitation.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
