In+Pathos is our new overnight event for Middle School (6th-8th grade) youth focused on empathy and how we care for and treat others and ourselves.

The Program has been written by Episcopal youth ministers in Arkansas.

The weekend includes:

A deep discussion on empathy using principles from Brene Brown and beliefs of the Episcopal Church..
Small groups where youth will interact with each other to understand strategies for interacting with the world utilizing an empathetic mindset.
Talks by youth and youth leaders using current media as well as diverse speakers.
Use of the Emotion Wheel as a tool for youth to be able to talk about their emotions.
Individual activities geared towards strengthening one’s own self-esteem and understanding of being a beloved child of God.
Fun games, music, and activities.

6th, 7th and 8th grade youth. Older youth may apply to be on the leadership team. Parents and other adults may be background helpers if they would like.
Checkin is at 7:30 pm on Friday and we will be finished for pickup from the same location Saturday at 5:30pm. You do have to attend the whole event as the small groups and discussion needs your full attention.
$30. This cost includes snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as some meaningful gifts from the event.
You will be sleeping on the floor and will need a redroll or sleeping bag and can bring an air mattress. All meals will occur at the church. Showers may not be available. Don’t come stinky.
