Godly Play Core Training is the most comprehensive training for the Godly Play method and theology. This is the recommended training for every adult leading Godly Play sessions, for administrators, and for clergy. Over the course of three days, participants experience all aspects of the Godly Play method and begin to become fluent in the Godly Play core stories and fundamental practices. Additionally, Godly Play's guiding Theology of Childhood is introduced, so participants become more deeply connected to their work. Core Training follows an action/reflection model of learning.
El Pueblito is hosting a 3-day core Godly Play training with Godly Play Trainer Sharolyn Browning.
The experience of a Godly Play training is one of a spiritual retreat. The setting - Taos, and El Pueblito - are stunning and you'll enjoy the beauty of nature while learning this unique Montessori-based approach to children's religious education.
