SUMMARY of the Emotional Intelligence training
Emotional intelligence is an important part of Christian maturity and healthy leadership. The way we recognize, process, and express our emotions influences how we relate to God, ourselves, other people, and those we are called to serve.
This six-day experiential training explores emotional intelligence through five basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust. Each day combines short theoretical inputs with practical exercises, personal reflection, small-group discussions, role plays, prayerful reflection, and guided debriefing.
The main objective is to strengthen the emotional intelligence and spiritual maturity of Christian leaders and youth leaders, helping them recognize, understand, process, and communicate emotions in ways that reflect Christ-like character and healthy relationships.

Exploring a bit of Pamplona
Networking and Collaboration – Building connections with like-minded organizations and individuals.
Particular attention will be given to Jesus' example of fully engaging with human emotions while remaining grounded in love, truth, and obedience to God. His compassion for people, willingness to weep, righteous anger, courage in the face of fear, ability to set boundaries, and command to love others provide important perspectives for understanding emotionally mature Christian leadership.
