Projects.

Engaging religious communities and neighbors through education, consulting and placemaking.

Projects are opportunities to leverage physical and relational assets for the common good. As Sympara works with religious communities and neighbors, new possibilities emerge:

​​

• Solutions to loneliness and depression

• Dialogue and discovery across belief and background

• Public and private collaboration

• Personal agency and communal power to effect change

• Social capital maximized for social impact

Our current projects include:

​

Greenwood Forest Baptist Church

Cary, NC

​

Sympara is helping the congregation explore models of creative repurposing in order to activate underutilized space for the benefit of the wider community.

​

HumanGood

Pleasanton, CA​

​

Sympara is helping the nation's sixth largest nonprofit provider of senior housing and health care identify religious communities with properties suitable for development of workforce housing and other below-market-rate housing.

​

Aging for the Common Good

Everywhere

​

Sympara is hosting a Zoom-based writing group for older adults as they report on their lives with partner Senior Correspondent, sharing reflections essential to the resilience of individuals and society: the loss and discovery of identity in aging, the experience of aging in place, the evolution of a spirituality of aging, and the journey to embrace the role of elder. 

​

Congregational Death and Dying

Everywhere​

​

Sympara is planning a Zoom-based series that will begin in July featuring conversations between Sympara cofounder Daniel Pryfogle and pastor, counselor and professor Rick Mixon, who will explore the personal and communal challenges of institutional death through a rich composting of theology, philosophy, psychology and experience.
