A series of three interactive and reflective sessions, aimed particularly at graduates of Encounter, but open to all community members, that seeks to:
1. reground new (or weary!) spiritual companions in their practice,
2. empower you to develop your unique charisma,
3. reconnect you with a vision for spiritual direction in the church and wider community.
Session One: Ground
Facilitated time to reflect and share on what has worked and not worked, what has been a delight and what has been a challenge, using supervision tools and a creative guided meditation.
Session Two: Voice
Exploring your particular charisma in spiritual direction. What would it look like to step more fully into the expression of ministry that is uniquely yours?
Session Three: Vision
Connecting with a broad and prophetic vision for spiritual direction in our churches and the wider community. How might we reach new individuals and groups who could benefit from spiritual direction? What might spiritual direction "sideways" look like?
Dates: Fridays - 23rd February, 8th March, 22nd March.
When: 10:00-12:30
Where: Online
Cost: £100
