What is a Glasshouse Experience?

“Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.  

Repeat the same mistake over and over and you don't get any closer to Carnegie Hall”. (Sarah Kay Poet)

Intergenerate Australia/NZ  conference desires to create environments we are calling "A Glasshouse Experience".  You can’t throw stones in glasshouses, if you do you are going to have a mess. We want to create a space where there is no judgement, rather there is permission to try and practice new things. Glass houses are places where things grow faster and creates a safe place to starting.  Each "Glasshouse experience" will be facilitated by a team led by Tammy Preston, with the focus of learning, growing and worshiping together. They will be a creative, reflective and fun spaces, where many voices are heard and allowed to be expressed. This will be a great place to start connecting across the ages, and learn that we are all stronger and richer for the experience. 

Workshop Speakers:

We are very excited to partner with local people, doing local ministry, in faith communities around Australia and New Zealand. All will be in the  room and face to face for the day.
