Godly Play Core Training

Certificated three-day courses are led by members of the College of Trainers of Godly Play UK. This training enables you to use the Godly Play method and understand its principles. The training follows an action/reflection model of learning, through hands-on experience and reflection, rather than lectures.

There is a mixture of trainer-led sessions and opportunities for coached participant storytelling presentations. We work in a model Godly Play environment, with the opportunity to use and see a comprehensive set of resources. Each day focuses on a different kind of Godly Play presentation (sacred stories, parables and liturgical action/church practice) to help you begin to understand how different genres of Christian language support spiritual exploration.

Workshops in this core training also cover:

• The Spirituality of Childhood
• Setting up a Godly Play environment
• Your particular context, concerns and questions

This course is led by two accredited Godly Play trainers, who have shared Godly Play with children and adults for several years.
