When Oddwalk is featured at a conference or rally, that responsibility is taken very seriously. Working in conjunction with local parish, school, event, or diocesan staff, Oddwalk tailors its message of community, participation, and mission to the local theme and various needs of the community. Through fun and engaging music and stories, Oddwalk witnesses to a lived faith as few others can. Oddwalk can also be called upon to serve as emcees, a warm-up act, weavers, the house band leaders, or as prayer leaders. Click here for some sample descriptions of 45-90 minute keynotes.
Concerts
Through an uplifting blend of energetic, thought-provoking, and prayerful songs, Oddwalk is adept at providing hours of evangelism and entertainment, be the audience a few dozen or several hundred people. Shannon and Orin get crowds on their feet either as a duo, or if desired with the support of a full band. Audiences are challenged and enlivened, and given a genuine opportunity to grow stronger in their experience of their faith. Click here for some sample concert setlists.
When leading prayer, be it mass, adoration, or praise and worship (or any other sacred time), Oddwalk makes sure everyone sings their prayer and participates fully. Our original compositions or favorites of your community both invite all to prayer and sometimes can challenge conventional notions of prayer — and in doing so help to deepen our relationship with God and our relationships with those in our Christian communities.
Retreats
Oddwalk retreats are focused on drawing people into a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship with God. Through a mix of reflective music, witnessing, activities, discussion, and prayer, Oddwalk engages and challenges youth and young adults with the Gospel. Oddwalk has much experience providing retreats for 7-12th grade teens (including Confirmation groups) and college-aged and other young adults, such as parish or school staffs. Retreat components can be preset or custom-designed for your circumstances. Click here for some sample retreat outlines.
Workshops
Oddwalk workshops, for youth or adults, focus on educating and catechizing in an entertaining way, and preparing leaders of our Church for the challenges that they may face in their parish or school. In particular, our workshops on Liturgy and Liturgical Leadership are effective tools for those wishing to expand and clarify their current knowledge and experience, and for those who wish to grow more deeply into their faith through a fuller understanding of ritual and music. Other Oddwalk workshops have themes of journey or conversion. Click here for some sample workshop outlines.
