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 chats and coffee and cake breaks (please bring your own!)
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.

"This training is profound. It has the potential to enable people from many different walks of life to find a language to discern and address what is most important. I can’t recommend it highly enough!"
Ali Dorey/ Life Coach
"My time with the OutoftheBox team on the course was life changing and life enhancing. I had an idea that OutoftheBox would be a really beneficial thing for a whole host of people and situations but I was thinking too small. My eyes have been opened by the tutors and those on the course with whom I shared the journey. Excellent experience and I thoroughly recommend it to others."
