PD: When Words Fall Away - Creativity in Spiritual Companioning

WellSpring Centre Inc.Ashburton, VIC
Thursday, Sep 17, 2026 from 9:15 am to 2:30 pm AEST
Overview

With Kathy Cave and supported by Australian Network for Spiritual Direction (ANSD)

One of the gifts of contemplation and spiritual companioning is permission to not have words to describe or explain what is going on or who we are becoming. Come join us as we explore some valuable non-verbal and creative tools for this journey. Over three sessions, we will consider ways to prepare for a spiritual companioning session (or other modality), work with an art piece a pilgrim/ client brings to a session, and facilitate/ witness a creative process during a session.


In-person only

Please arrive for a cuppa by 9:15am

Please bring your journal and any art materials you would like to use

BYO lunch and snacks
