I was interested in the Modern Spirituality course because it was a long-term programme which, I felt, would help me develop my own spiritual path (outside of a formal religious setting) over time. I get a lot from day, weekend and short courses, but often feel they end just as I’m getting into them, and as the connections are deepening. With the Modern Spirituality programme, we have built a strong little community of like-minded people from very different walks of life.
The pace is good, and it has been a joy to explore our spirituality together and to learn from each other under John’s highly skilled and compassionate guidance. I have been taken to some unexpected places, been challenged by new ideas and relearned some previously understood truths, often in a fresh, new (sometimes experiential) way that has made me think about them anew. It is that ongoing conversation about life, mystery and about what really matters, that I find my soul hungers for if it is not getting its fill.
This course therefore, has given me spiritual sustenance and whilst it has been at times emotional, at times challenging, it has always been an enjoyable, shared experience with a fantastic community of lovely people under John’s thoughtful, experienced leadership.
