Collective Event, Deland, FL

I’ll be back in DeLand for a series of fun events with Collective. There are,

The Last Supper

For many years Peter Rollins ran an event called The Last Supper in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Once a month a small band of people would gathered around a large oak table in an upper room to share a meal, drink wine and discuss a controversial subject. Each evening would be facilitated by a special guest, who would begin the night with a short talk on the subject. The guest would symbolically occupy the seat of Christ while those gathered would carefully weigh their words and decide whether or not this would be their last supper.

After placing dozens of people in the hot seat we’ve decided that it’s only fair to turn the tables and make Peter take the chair.

In this intimate event Peter will be speaking about the subversive core of his theological project before being interrogated by those at the table. This will be a fun and intellectually stimulating evening, and we envisage tickets selling fast, so buy now to avoid disappointment.

Fulfilling Your Dreams: A horror Story

Everyone wants to get into heaven and avoid hell. Whether it is through religion, drugs, consumerism, higher conscious movements or new technologies, we all want to escape the difficulties and suffering that often haunts our lives. Yet our sacred and secular striving for heaven so often seems to result in hell. In this lecture Peter will argue that heaven and hell are actually profoundly intertwined. That heaven always has hell to pay. Instead he will show that a radical reading of Christianity is one that turns from both, opting instead for a full blooded embrace of the earth.

An Evening of Parables and Pints

Peter is perhaps best known for integrating provocative stories and parables into his talks that connect with our deepest and most disturbing truths. Because of this we’ve asked Peter to talk the art of parables and share some of his favorites. If you have a story or parable then bring it along as we’d love you to share them with us at the end. We’ll pick some of our favorites and integrate them into future Collective gatherings (getting you to tell it if you’re available).
