Receiving Certificates at the end of the course!
As part of the journey through the spiritual year, I attended intercongregational formation meetings in the Claret Centre in Buckden in England. I was very lucky to be able to attend these weeks of formation, I also attended in my candidacy. These times were so supportive and enriching for me. They aided greatly in terms of peer support and also helped me to create links in a sometimes lonely year. The content of the course supported the learning covered as part of congregations’ unique programmes and the focus on the vows, and the excellent input from various speakers was a welcome change!
I found the time spent in Buckden very lifegiving. It allowed me
to explore themes related to my development, foster links with
like minded individuals,
and very importantly I felt I was also further discerning in a healthy
way. Treasa
