How the learning community works
A sustained online rhythm rooted in your real context.
Monthly “balcony time” creates an accountable movement of withdrawal and return: attend to God, see yourself within the systems you hope to change, and return prepared to act more faithfully with others. Plan for approximately 8–10 hours in a typical month. Most contextual practice is designed to happen within work you are already leading; prototype and completion months may require 10–12 hours.

| This may be a good fit if | This is unlikely to fit if |
| You want formation and practice, not information alone. | You want a quick credential without field practice. |
| You are willing to learn with and from people in context. You can protect about two hours most weeks for the nine-month journey. | You need someone else to deliver a finished solution. You cannot presently make room for sustained participation. |
