This training takes place in Sheffield over two days: 18th and 19th November 2022 and includes OutoftheBox Membership.
We will be playfully, creatively relaxing into stories together. The learning model is action-reflection with time to experience the approach, to reflect on the experiences and to practise the art of OutoftheBox. The OutoftheBox approach will also be modelled in the training process with the facilitators drawing out the wisdom of the group and enabling peer learning.
The training will have the feel of a retreat, as we share stories together and have time for shared meals and coffee breaks.
Who is the training for?
OutoftheBox is an approach that can be used by those working with children, adults and intergenerational groups in schools, hospitals, churches, families, care homes, prisons or in the community. It is a useful approach for those involved in mentoring, chaplaincy, therapy, counselling and spiritual accompaniment. It is also used by those working to improve the working culture of secular and faith organisations.
What comes with the Membership?
OutoftheBox Membership offers you a life long resource and community and includes:
· 49 Wisdom stories – with annotated scripts and videos
· The opportunity to belong to a Story Development Group to collaborate with others in writing and adapting stories
· An annual webinar
