Synodality 101: Our Workshops
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?
Our Synodality 101 course has enabled hundreds of people to explore synodality and develop the skills, dispositions and practices that help synodality become a lived reality in the Church.
The enthusiasm of participants, together with their reflections and feedback, has encouraged us to expand our offer into a wider pathway of formation and training. We now offer courses that are designed to accompany people at different stages of their synodal journey. This programme will continue to grow and adapt in response to emerging needs and opportunities.
A distinctive feature of our online programme is the opportunity to journey together with people from across the world. Participants consistently mention the richness of sharing experiences, learning from different contexts, and discovering how the call to become a more synodal Church is being lived in communities across cultures and continents.
Together, we seek to deepen our understanding and practice of synodality - growing in the skills, spirituality and confidence needed to listen, discern and journey together as the people of God.
“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.”
