Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria – Facilitators Training

Back to St James Old Cathedral in West Melbourne. This time with the facilitators of Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria. 

We began the day with a reflection on the Road to Emmaus led by one of the participants. A main session for the morning considered spiritual formation practices for pastors and leaders. We then explored the echoes of spiritual direction, mentoring, coaching, counselling / therapy, and supervision in retreat processes. We assessed ourselves against the Renewal Retreat Facilitation Competencies and reflected on co-facilitation as we concluded the day.

Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria – Facilitators Training

Great to be back with the facilitators of Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria for their final training day of 2022.  Tim and I enjoyed the day’s training again at St James Old Cathedral, particularly the great lunch spots nearby!  

We began the day with a Biblical reflection on joy.  We then explored recent work on anxiety and stress in ministry, reflecting on strategies facilitators could use in retreats to support pastors and leaders. To finish the day we assessed ourselves against the Renewal Retreat Facilitation Competencies.
