Courage and Companionship: Spiritual Nourishment for Men

Our sessions we will draw upon the Courage & Renewal approach, as designed by Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal, including the Touchstones for Creating Trustworthy Space; as well as reflecting on ideas held in poetry, evocative imagery, stirring music and thought-provoking prose.

There will be opportunities for stillness, personal reflection, journaling on questions, invitational sharing in small groups of two or three and time to speak into the larger circle of the group.

Whilst we explore these universal questions and ideas, we will each find our own personal meaning and shared connection, supporting us to grow our courage.

“We rarely hear the inward music, but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless.” – Rumi

“The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.” – Parker J Palmer

There will be some material to look at before the first session. We will email you around one week prior to the course with information about accessing the course, including this material, on our online learning platform (Moodle).
