Facilitating restoration since 2014

Deep calls
to deep,
and we keep listening.

Dan and Nancy Nicewonger started A Place in the Conversation in 2014, built on one conviction: people change when they are finally heard. That work continues today with congregations, caregivers, and anyone sitting with a hard question.

“Each person finds their place in the conversation.”

What we believe

Helping people find their true voice, and somewhere safe to use it.

We facilitate restoration of relationships. We believe transformation begins when each person finds their place in the conversation, where voices can be heard, stories shared, and understanding deepened.

01

Be heard.

Spaces where the whole of your experience, grief, doubt, longing, hope, is welcome. Nothing tidied. Nothing edited.

02

Listen well.

Skills and structures for the slow, patient work of receiving another person, across difference, across hurt, across the table.

03

Grow together.

Congregations and communities that move from talking at each other to walking with each other, and with God.

How we help

Walking with congregations through the hardest conversations.

Living over Loss.

A new initiative for those carrying grief that doesn't hand itself back easily, built from Nancy's caregiver years, written for the long after.

Cohort gatherings, written reflections, and a path through grief that does not pretend it has a tidy end. We're opening the first round soon.
