Lydia's Deeper Dialogue Experience
Deeper Dialogues was a fantastic experience that I’d recommend to anyone, whether you’re a regular attendee to Theological Horizons events or not (I’m not)! It was so refreshing to be able to talk openly and honestly about struggles and resilience, and a good reminder that we’re not alone this semester or any other time.
My group was made up of me, another undergrad student, a grad student, and a professor - none of whom I would have met outside of Deeper Dialogues. We spent an hour having a fantastic discussion led by a facilitator who guided the conversation with a series of tough - but rewarding - questions that left me feeling refreshed and restored.
Deeper Dialogues managed to, in just an hour and a half, create a sense of care and community the likes of which I’ve rarely felt during COVID, and which I can’t recommend enough. If you’re on the fence about going, I would definitely give it a shot! I’ll be there at the next one for sure.
