Training Trainers of Spiritual Directors Developing the abilities needed to facilitate Spiritual Direction formation programmes

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted. I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved.  We will meditate with Christian scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit. We will share silence, we will move our bodies, we will sit with Love. A little time out, to check in. I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness. Two hours at Leasowes Farm in Warwickshire, UK in a small group setting (max 8). Each month a new theme will be explored. Different dates in the same month will cover the same material. See the 'Virtual Mini Retreats' page for a Zoom-based version of the same retreat.

In the western world, we have been taught to favour logic and reason over the experiential ways of Wisdom. This poetic movement, evolving through energy within our bodies, is a flow and breath, bringing health and a way forward through our difficult paths. Personified as female in ancient sacred writings, Hokhmah in the Hebrew scriptures, and Sophia in the Greek, she is steeped in everyday experience and ordinary life, emerging through connecting to our senses, our emotions and spirituality. During this on-line space Helen will bring to life Holy Wisdom and ways to listen and encourage her intuitive ways. There will be ideas to open to our own ‘deep-body knowing’ and to experience this connection to divine Wisdom. Space will be given for individual reflection time, group discussion and questions. Helen Warwick is a Chaplain and Creative Therapist within the Community of Holy Rood House, Centre for Health and Pastoral Care, in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Her work includes leading creative retreats and groups, working with people individually and supervision for pastoral workers. She is a trained Occupational Therapist and Spiritual Director with specialism in mental health, creativity, low energy, bereavement and trauma. As a writer Helen has published books by Kevin Mayhew, with her latest book ‘Wisdom Calls: Transformative Ways for Insightful Living’ published by Sacristy Press. https://www.sacristy.co.uk/books/prayer-spirituality/wisdom-calls

What do you mean by dowsing? What is the use for it? Answers to these questions form the introduction to the subject followed by the description of the four methods used in dowsing. An outline of what is involved in a dowsing session and a brief discussion on whether dowsing falls under the category of psychic activity is also included in the introduction to The Dowsing Diploma Course. The course then undertakes to widen your knowledge about the topic by explaining the origin of dowsing. You will begin with the ancient times and go through each century up to the twentieth century to understand the evolution of the practice over time. Additionally, you will familiarise yourself with some of the prominent figures in the history of dowsing by exploring brief biographies of each of them. Though dowsing can be done using just the hands, dowsers prefer to use either a pendulum or a rod. You will learn more about these tools in The Dowsing Diploma Course, how these tools can be made on your own and how you should use dowsing charts. So, how exactly does dowsing work?
