How do we listen to each other well?
How do we step back from our own agendas to be attentive to where the Spirit is moving?
How can we make better decisions about organising ourselves as Christian communities?
How do we enrich our parish communal life with enriching conversations?
The School for Synodality exists to embed synodal habits and practices in the life of the Church so that we can grow and journey together. This means making some of the key practices of synodality accessible and easy to try across our Catholic communities. We have a wealth of practical wisdom on listening and speaking graciously to one another, but have often forgotten it in our day to day community life. We hope these resources will help brush up your skills and give you the confidence to give it a go!

Synodality 101 Workshops
The Synod process has emphasised the importance of listening and good conversations in our community life. However these are not always so easy in practice!
Our 101: Conversations in the Spirit workshop series will introduce the principles of holding prayerful, truthful and safe conversations which value gracious listening and courageous speaking. It is suitable for all levels of experience including people who have not been involved in the Synod process so far.
“The small group spiritual conversations were really enriching - both from the perspective of practicing skills, but also from the experience of having a spiritual conversation with people we wouldn’t otherwise ordinarily connect with.”
