The Week@Faith
%404x.webp)
Faith gives us courage and clarity to face the truly essential issues in life. The Week can help us engage with one of the biggest questions of our time: God’s creation has been severely damaged. How can we be better stewards of life?
It can be done in many different ways
The essence is: “Meet 3 times, with the same group, within a week”.
You meet for 90 minutes: 60 minutes of film + 30 minutes of conversations (or more if you want).
You meet for 90 minutes: 60 minutes of film + 30 minutes of conversations (or more if you want).
For the rest, people do The Week in all sorts of ways:
By organizing a session with a small faith group they belong to.
Through a session organized by their church, synagogue, mosque or temple.
As part of a wider program throughout a diocese or episcopal area, for instance.
Here is what not to do:
Don’t watch The Week alone! It’s too big of an experience to do it alone. The magic happens from doing this as a group and talking about it.
No binge watching. Leave 24 hours or more in between sessions.
Join only if you can do all 3 sessions. It’s designed that way and participating only in 1 or 2 of the sessions will leave you hanging.
They organized
The Week is precious. It activated a sacred fire within me, a fire that wants to be lived within me.
There are so many worthwhile actions and possible commitments and changes I could dedicate myself to. Where do I start? The Week offers this key: to start with what I’m most genuinely called to do instead of starting this journey with guilt and self-flagellation. The conversion will be joyful or will not be!
About twenty of us did "The Week" and it was really engaging, because of the pedagogical progression and the way every person's path is respected. To me, The Week is really a journey of "environmental conversion" that invites us to move forward joyfully and I recommend it widely around me.

Ready for the adventure?
Even if you’ve organized a group previously, sign up your new group here, as your old one will have expired. Also, if you organize several groups in parallel, sign up each group separately. We'll send you unique links to the films for every group so your groups don’t get mixed up.
What’s my role as organizer?
Mostly, it’s just getting the group together!
- If you meet in person, you'll need a screen that everyone can see (your computer, or a TV/projector hooked up to your computer).
- If you meet online, you’ll need a free Zoom account.
Everything else we’ll explain in a short email that we send you when you sign up for a session.
You don’t need to set up or facilitate the group conversations after the films. We’ll do that for you. After each film, you’ll watch another short video that lays out:
- A few simple guidelines for the conversation (e.g. everyone speaks in turn)
- A question to kick-start the conversation.
What does it cost?
If you use The Week outside the workplace – in your home with families or friends, in your community center, church or spiritual group, etc. – you can sign up your group for free.
Yes, for free so no one is excluded. But with this request to all participants: at the end of The Week, if you found it valuable – and if you can – we ask you to make a 10 $/£/€ donation, or whatever amount feels right to you, so we can keep spreading The Week. We depend on your donations to do so.
