"You have to be willing to live your loneliness, your incompleteness, your lack of total incarnation fearlessly, and trust that God will give you the people to keep showing you the truth of who you are."

The Seattle School
Conferences & Events

Engaging conferences and events that offer opportunity for meaningful change.

Welcome to The Seattle School Conferences and Events. We are an extension of The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and offer a wide array of conferences, workshops, seminars and lecture series that offer anything but the typical run-of-the-mill events. No matter the topic — whether story, leadership, marriage, trauma and abuse, therapeutic praxis, or theology — the content serves as an invitation to the conversations that are provoked within and around you. You are invited to both important content and transformational conversation. Events designed to merge faith with praxis, hope with reality, and learning with life.

More than ever before, The Seattle School wants to roll up our sleeves and participate in the conversations that are occurring in our neighborhoods, in our cities, and in our country. We believe that our faith compels us to hope that there is more. To that end, we are committed to inviting voices into our midst to dialogue, share their thoughts and help us navigate together the context in which we live.
