Godly Play Core Training

by Registrar

There are a lot of things you can learn from a book or a lecture, but Godly Play is best learned from the inside out.

This training is an opportunity to learn about Godly Play and supporting children’s spirituality. It also includes experiencing a variety of Godly Play stories, telling a story by heart, and receiving supportive feedback.

Godly Play is a creative approach to nurturing children’s faith. It values process, openness, discovery, community, and relationships. And it supports children in being more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.

Together we will explore the principles and practices of Godly Play including plenary sessions on the Godly Play Environment, the Spirituality of the Child, and the Community of Children.

A parent’s thoughts about Godly Play: “The children know that to these leaders their faith, ideas, thoughts, and feelings are all valid and wonderful. They feel heard and important.” Chrystal

We welcome participants who are new to Godly Play as well as experienced Storytellers and Doorpersons who want to refresh their leadership skills.

The fee for training is $350 which includes nutrition & coffee breaks. Participants will bring a bagged lunch.
