Courses in Spirituality/Spiritual Accompaniment

We are also committed to providing opportunities for people to spend a more extended period of time focussing more deeply on who they are called to be, discovering and maybe rediscovering their gifts.

We offer two courses to enable this:

Spiritual Growth and Transformation (SG&T)

Over the course of 7 months participants are given a safe and sacred space in which to explore, reflect and share their own experience of their relationship with God, and themes such as images of God, images of self, the spiritual journey and personal call are explored.

The next course is likely to be early 2014  Please visit our website for more information.

The Art of Spiritual Accompaniment (ASA)

This course, running over 5 months, builds on what was experienced in SG&T but is more focussed on developing the skills of discerning listening, exploring and practicing a range of approaches to prayer and to introduce the practice of Spiritual Accompaniment. It’s particularly aimed at those who feel drawn to listening to other’s faith journeys, companioning others on their journey or sense a call to the ministry of Spiritual Accompaniment/Direction.

The next ASA course is likely to be early 2014. Please visit our website for more information.

Prayer Resources

At Whirlow we have a limited range of resources – pictures, icons, etc. that can be borrowed by churches or individuals who are seeking to provide prayer and spirituality services or events around the diocese.
