Registration NOW OPEN!
You're Invited to Denver Presbytery’s First Leadership Summit!
We need to gather now more than ever!
We need to be courageous in our relationships so we can be courageous in our ministries.
Reconnecting in a Divided & Disconnected World
In the wake of COVID-19 and an increasingly tense political climate, many church leaders are grappling with disconnection, division, and uncertainty in their congregations, in their families, in their presbyteries. We are living with cultural vertigo and trying to find connection. People are exhausted, communities feel fragmented, and meaningful engagement seems harder than ever.
As pastors and church leaders, how do we rebuild trust, and deepen authentic connections that nourish our communities and souls in a time when people are weary, overwhelmed, fearful or disengaged?
Join us for Conspiring to Build Courageous Relationships , the Denver Presbytery Leadership Summit, where we’ll explore:
💠Navigating Conflict & Division – Move beyond tension and polarization.
💠Building Trust & Engagement – Learn tools to connection in a fractured world.
💠Leading with Clarity & Resourcefulness– Strengthen your leadership and your community in uncertain times.
This is more than a summit—it’s a space to reflect, grow, and find renewed purpose in leading faithful, connected communities. It takes deep courage to connect in uncertainty. You are not alone. We can do this together.

Julie Colwell, PhD is a psychologist who has spent upwards of 50,000 hours working with individuals, couples, and groups, as well as founding and directing the Evolutionary Power Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Julie is fascinated by relationship dynamics, and endlessly muses about new ways to move out of the suffering of struggle back into creativity, flow, and aliveness. She is the author of several books, including her most recent, On Evolutionary Power: A Path to Conscious, Sustainable Activism. Julie has developed and trains practitioners in the modality called “Evolutionary Power,” which is grounded in neuropsychology, systems theory, and energy work. Julie describes the heart of Evolutionary Power as “using our inner awareness to shift our physiology, move out of power struggles, and step into new possibilities, constantly wondering how can everybody get everything they want?”
