Godly Play Training Retreat
2023-08-11 15:00 - 2023-08-13 17:00 | Episcopal Church Center
The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is pleased to offer a Godly Play Core Training Retreat on August 11-13, 2023. Summer is the perfect time to plan and prepare to welcome families in the Fall. This retreat will allow congregations the opportunity to refresh their training and to bring new storytellers and door holders into the fold.
Over the course of the retreat, participants will 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. The circle of participants becomes very strong and trustworthy when this work is done in the closed environment of a several-day retreat, and participants enjoy spiritual renewal and lasting friendships. Last year’s training had participants from across the diocese. This year, we are hoping to increase the participants and the connections that come from doing this deep work together. Godly Play Core Training is $75 for members of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, and $355 for those outside of our diocese.

Space is limited. Please register below.

You will be joining over 300,000 parade goers for some sun, a 1.5-mile walk, waving flags, lively music, and a wonderful community.
Parking will be available at the Cathedral (525 Olive), and at St. Paul’s Senior Services at 3rd and Maple.

Be advised: Driving and looking for parking near the staging area (within a couple of miles) is very difficult and almost impossible.

The parade staging area is at the DMV on Normal Street.
There is limited space on the trolley for those who are walking impaired. Please reach out to Susan Jester for more information at jesters@stpaulcathedral.org
