October 2014 Introduction: Calgary

November Introduction Details...

Godly Play:

Godly Play is an exciting approach to engage biblical story and liturgical
action. Originally developed for children (3-12), this method is now in 
use with people of all ages and stages. Explaining Godly Play is difficult, 
so we encourage you to experience a full session, which is best! As
facilitators, we will offer a prayerful and playful atmosphere to do this
work together.

We invite you to this discovery in an Introductory Workshop, from 930am to
400pm on Saturday, November 23, at Ralph Connor Memorial United Church,
in Canmore. The $75.00 cost for the day includes everything you need 
(handouts, stories, a full classroom, workshop supplies, facilitation, space, morning coffee, lunch and work materials!)

Do consider joining us to experience a simple and exciting approach that
honours the power of sacred story, imagination, and Spirit! In the process, 
together we will:

• learn about and work with the spoken and unspoken lesson;
• learn about and practice how you and others can support the circle of children;
• practice working with the stories and materials; 
• encounter a Godly Play classroom; and
• build community.

November Introduction: Canmore

February Introduction Facilitators

Norah enters the Godly Play circle when silence allows an aha! moment to burst forth. Norah has been involved with Godly Play since 2007 and continues to learn new things with each new circle. She invites you to play with the SPIRIT and to be open to a silence that is abounding with God's presence.

Are you ready? Ruth is, most days. And when people come close to Godly Play, lives change! Ruth's has. She first experienced Godly Play in 2005, and has been committed to building the circle ever since! Ruth enters through the wondering, stays for the silence, and shares her playful storytelling freely with others.

Lesley, a Godly Play practitioner since 2006, has a gift for nurturing respectful relationships where we can explore Mystery together. Lesley enters Godly Play in the silent moment in the middle of the story where you could hear a pin drop. She looks forward to welcoming you to worship Godly Play style!
