AIMS:
The course
has two main aims:
that
we come to inhabit and trust our own spirituality more;
that
we grow in our ability to listen to others in ways that ‘hear them into
life’.
We
see these two as inextricably linked, one providing the bedrock for the other.
We acknowledge that we on the team are still on our own journey of growth
in these aims.
PROCESS:
The course
will be, to a large extent, experiential:
exploring
and claiming our own spirituality;
sharing
with each other and listening to each other;
practising
the gifts we already have, if only in potential, and learning new ones;
gathering
together the important teaching points.
We
hope to create an atmosphere of acceptance, trust and respect for the uniqueness
of each of us, in which learning can happen grace-fully.
