The Prayer Spaces Sessions

The Prayer Space Sessions are our termly, one hour bitesize conversations around specific areas of prayer spaces practice that are brilliant hubs with a wealth of experience and knowledge sharing.

This session will help us understand how prayer spaces and chaplaincy work brilliantly together to nurture the spiritual life of pupils and will bring helpful insights for anyone running prayer spaces whether in a chaplaincy role or as a school visitor.

Regional Gathering: North West England

Whether you’re thinking about your first prayer space, or you’ve been running them for years, this gathering is a place to learn, to be inspired by the stories and experience of others and to go deeper.

With streams for people new to prayer spaces, and for those with lots of experience who want to develop their thinking and practice, this day is designed to stir your soul and energise your mind as we help a generation to explore prayer.

Planning and running your prayer
space is easier than you think…
