If there are leaders of several language communities in a specific region interested in taking the Journey, and if there is a group of local language practitioners who are interested in walking alongside them in this way, then the Journey is for you.
To apply the Journey effectively, it requires that the Alongsiders (the local specialists) receive training. This training is usually offered immediately before a Journey Phase 1 workshop. Often we will run a Journey training event for the Alongsiders from Mond - Thurs, and then offer the Phase 1 workshop with the community leaders on either Frid-Sat, or Sat-Sunday. The Phase 1 workshops are most effective when there are leaders from numerous language groups participating together, thus enabling them to learn from and encourage one another.
We currently have a team of consultants who can provide training in the Journey in various locations in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South America. To schedule a Journey training and a Journey Phase 1 workshop, please contact the Journey Taskforce at:

We will get back in touch with you immediately and discuss how our Journey Taskforce can help meet your needs.
