together in a context where learning is by reflection and practice.

journey and grow further in your ability to listen to God. - It is also suitable for those already in ordained or lay ministry
who would like to deepen their own prayer and listening skills.
What is the course about?

Topics include: Our images of God; theory and the practice of spiritual direction; models of faith accompaniment; theological reflection; Ignatian Discernment; prayer and Scripture; personality, sexuality in spiritual direction; good practice and supervision.
How is it taught?
The varied ways of learning include presentations from the tutors each day and at the weekend, opportunities for shared experience, time for personal reflection, journaling, small group work, triads to practice listening skills (directee, director, observer), individual mentoring, the opportunity to review two books of the student’s choice and compiling a portfolio of resources for future ministry.

Mass followed by tea and coffee.
Based on the ancient, monastic way of praying the scriptures.
The group is very informal and generally meets on the first Saturday of the month from 8.30 ready for a start at 09:00 after a drink and some toast etc. We normally aim to finish about 10.30
You do not need to book for these sessions. Just come along and take part.
The meeting (which is very informal) comprises two main sections – a reflection and sharing on a piece of scripture from the Gospels (we use the Common Lectionary and the reading for the upcoming Sunday) followed by an input and discussion/sharing on a topic relevant to Men’s spirituality. We then finish with some prayers of thanksgiving and petition.
Starting in Feb 2019 we will start a new topic area. During the period February to May 2019 inclusive we will watch 20 minute segments of the DVD – “Pope Francis – A Man of his word” as a stimulus to conversation and personal sharing.
The DVD – Pope Francis – A Man of His Word is a rare co-production with the Vatican. Pope Francis’ ideas and his message are central to this documentary, which sets out to present his work of reform and his answers to today’s global questions about death, social justice, immigration, ecology, wealth inequality, materialism, and the role of the family.

Wellbeing practices remind us that God is present to us, in every cell of our being. They enable prayer and our spiritual relationship with God by reminding us of the wholeness (and holiness) of our being, relaxing the body, and bringing us to a centred and meditative place which is prayerful in itself, or can enable us to pray more easily or readily.
This extended morning session (one of a series) continues to introduce Capacitar (meaning “empowerment”) practices and energy work, and newcomers and previous participants are very welcome.
What to expect: A gentle, flowing morning, some quiet time, some more energetic movement, time to reflect and share/ask questions. A chance to know others in a different context. All ages and abilities are welcome.
You can download a leaflet here to read or pass on.

What to expect: A gentle, flowing morning, some quiet time, some more energetic movement, time to reflect and share/ask questions. A chance to know others in a different context. All ages and abilities are welcome.

This six month course comprises two elements, 10 days at the Xaverian Mission Spirituality Centre in Preston (formerly known as Tabor) and a residential weekend at Hyning Monastery.
Description
Sponsored by the Diocese of Blackburn this course offers the
opportunity to experience listening to God and to one another, travelling
together in a context where learning is by reflection and practice.
During the course we will
- Explore Christian Traditions of Spiritual Accompaniment
- Develop discerning listening
- Explore key themes in this ministry
It is particularly suitable if you
- Find yourself drawn to listen to other peoples’ faith journeys.
- Sense a call to this ministry.
- Simply want to continue to deepen your own prayer and faith
journey and grow further in your ability to listen to God. - It is also suitable for those already in ordained or lay ministry
who would like to deepen their own prayer and listening skills.
What is the course about?
Listening to God and learning to listen attentively to another person, is a time – honoured tradition and discipline within Christian pastoral care and spiritual growth. The course is experiential and practical.
Topics include: Our images of God; theory and the practice of spiritual direction; models of faith accompaniment; theological reflection; Ignatian Discernment; prayer and Scripture; personality, sexuality in spiritual direction; good practice and supervision.
How is it taught?
The varied ways of learning include presentations from the tutors each day and at the weekend, opportunities for shared experience, time for personal reflection, journaling, small group work, triads to practice listening skills (directee, director, observer), individual mentoring, the opportunity to review two books of the student’s choice and compiling a portfolio of resources for future ministry.
Who is it for?
This six month course lays the foundations for those new to faith accompaniment. Those from all Christian denominations are welcome and the course is ecumenical in approach.
Some people undertake the course unsure whether they will offer faith accompaniment to others. Others are already listening to parishioners or people in everyday life and feel the time is right to reflect and refresh their ministry.
All applications will be considered as they are received. Applicants will receive an invitation to an interview with a couple of the tutors to ascertain that it is the right course and the right timing for them.
What are the costs?
The course cost £450 which covers the days at the Xaverian Mission Spirituality Centre in Preston, a residential weekend at Hyning Monastery and Course materials which make up a handbook. The tutors are offering their time and experience to establish the course in Lancashire, so costs are kept as low as possible.
Tea & coffee is provided but participants bring their own lunch.
