Godly Play Storyteller and Door Person Accredited Training Weekend Course

This is a weekend, non-residential course. It starts at 1pm on Friday, 16 October and finishes at 5pm on Sunday, 18 October.

The venue is the Godly Play Scotland Centre in the basement of the Duddingston Kirk Manse.

The Godly Play Storyteller and Door Person Accredited Training is designed to give people a better understanding of both the theory and the practice of Godly Play.

The course explores each of the main types of story – sacred, parables and liturgy. We concentrate on the core stories that people usually tell at the beginning of their Godly Play journey. Alongside the stories and wondering are workshops that explore the theology and theory behind Godly Play.

There is a mixture of trainer led and participant storytelling sessions – so you have the opportunity to tell a story as part of the course and see and wonder about 14 other stories.

Godly Play Storyteller and Door Person training courses fit a lot in, so the days are long. This is especially true of this course as it is over a weekend. We will work late on Friday and even later on Saturday, then we have a full day on Sunday.

The cost of this course is £315. This includes a course handbook, lunches, dinner on Saturday evening and refreshments.

We are offering early bird (10%) discount for bookings made before 20 August and second mouse (5%) discount for bookings made between then and 17 September.
