Session Description
The goal of this session is to address the theme of youth living Eucharistically. I see my task as creating "formationally rich environments." In an ecosystem, all the constituent members of an ecosystem contribute to the richness and vitality of the whole. Imagine a woodland ecosystem with trees, soil, organisms within the soil, certain animals dependent on the cover of the trees, birds, the whole thing works together. All of the pieces fit into the whole. In addition, the constituent members of the ecosystem are interdependent - for everything to flourish, everything is connected. When a member is lost, the whole ecosystem is diminished. The opposite is also true - environments of formation can enhance spiritual formation in youth.

Finding Themselves at the Table: Youth Practicing Eucharistic Living in the World
The goal of this session is to address the theme of youth living Eucharistically. I see my task as creating "formationally rich environments." In an ecosystem, all the constituent members of an ecosystem contribute to the richness and vitality of the whole. Imagine a woodland ecosystem with trees, soil, organisms within the soil, certain animals dependent on the cover of the trees, birds, the whole thing works together. All of the pieces fit into the whole. In addition, the constituent members of the ecosystem are interdependent - for everything to flourish, everything is connected. When a member is lost, the whole ecosystem is diminished. The opposite is also true - environments of formation can enhance spiritual formation in youth.
