About This Curriculum

Welcome Lorekeepers, or as they say in your distant land, “teachers” or “facilitators.”

These pages contain all of the information you will need to facilitate your group through the “Journeys of Deeper Joy” Curriculum.

This is a curriculum designed around “Table-Top Roleplaying Games”. Role-playing games offer us a special opportunity for learning. In being able to play as a different character, we can explore actions, ideas, and roles that we might not consider in regular life.

In combining roleplaying with the community building focus of Deeper Joy, this curriculum seeks to offer our young people—and our whole congregational communities—an opportunity to creatively develop a sense of community.

If you are nervous about leading a roleplaying game- I hope you are able to nudge out of your comfort zone, and in the facilitation guides you will learn how to operate this roleplaying system, how our lessons work and how the world works.

These “Journeys” are not meant to be set in stone but are containers in which you can creatively explore and learn together. We provide ideas and possibilities but encourage creativity and making this curriculum work for you and your congregation or setting.
