Cancelled: ACI Rewilding Faith - Creating New Spaces for Faith Workshop

This workshop puts flesh  on the bones of some of what has emerged from the Synodal process. It aims to equip and encourage lay people to take leadership around their faith, and create spaces to nurture their faith and that of others. These spaces - which may happen within their parish, or outside it - will be participative, and inclusive, and draw on the experience of faith of all there.

The workshop will draw on Active Hope process. Developed by US eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, and Scottish Mental Health Specialist, Dr Chris Johnstone, this reflective group process is intended to support people becoming active participants in bringing about what they hope for.

Patricia Higgins, the workshop faciltiator,  is  an Interfaith Minister,  a trained Spiritual Accompanier in the Ignatian tradition, and a wedding and funeral celebrant. . She is a writer on spirituality for today’s world, and has  co-founded a number of faith-based organisations, including ACI, Slí Eile (Irish Jesuit Faith & Justice Initiative for 18-35 year olds) and more recently, the gospel-based faith-sharing group, Still Point..
