Was Jesus of Nazareth, a first century Jew, divinely destined to leave his hometown and die in Jerusalem, or was the journey that led him to his death one of conscious choicemaking along the way?  Through an exploration of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, along with silence, art, ritual, journaling, music and role-playing, participants will begin to uncover Jesus and his story from layers of theology and dogma that surround and hide him. The assumption is that as we reach toward Jesus, his experience of God and how he sought to live that out in his relationship to people, principalities and powers, we begin to find the courage to wear our own faces and speak our deepest truths to others and ourselves.
