Connection Chapels
Attend Relationship IQ's "Communication, Conflict, and Christ" Connection Chapel during the fall or spring. "Communication, Conflict, & Christ" allows students to learn how to harness interpersonal conflict to become more like Christ. This track walks them through discovering how their pain around identity and safety shows up in relationships with friends and family and can be transformed into realizing their new life in Christ, characterized by more peaceful relationships.
RelateWell Workshops
The RelateWell workshop series is held in collaboration with the Hub for Spiritual Life's "The Well" gathering. RelateWell workshops engage students to learn about effective interpersonal skills and are held on a seasonal basis, generally on Thursdays at 11am and 12pm during the spring semester in the Light House. Snacks provided! Dates will be listed as they are set. The Spring 2024 workshops have concluded.
