ONLINE WORKSHOPS

We hope this finds you all well. Our Autumn APSE regional  meeting will be ‘Revising our inner stories Part 2’. It will be on Wednesday 9th September at 10am finishing by 12.30pm.  (Zoom room open from 9.50 ready for a prompt start).

 We will be using the session to follow up the workshop Maureen Slattery Marsh led in April.  You will not need to have attended that workshop.  It will be a chance to familiarise ourselves with Daniel Seiff’s model/ insights, and, with this in mind,  to observe and comment on a live pastoral supervision conversation in goldfish bowl format.  We will comment and reflect on it in both small and large group formats.  Finally, at the end there will be an opportunity to network with one another in small break-out groups.

We are, therefore, attaching a Summary of Diana Seiff’s Stories of wounding from Revising Inner stories, the full article if you would like to read again or for the first time, and some of Maureen’s slides. (Please note page 1 of PDF is blank, just keep scrolling down) We strongly encourage you to have looked at these before the meeting.

Looking ahead we will welcome Richard Bubbers on 18th November to lead our workshop on ‘Exploring the feminine face of God.’  10-12.30 pm on Zoom.

 Also attached is a poster displayed at the APSE conference.  It may spur you to consider what else you would like from your Midlands gatherings.  Please let us know.

We would like to extend a warm Midlands welcome to our new members just joined us:

Annemarie Hawley – Stoke on Trent; Marjory Parrott – Belper; Nicky McGinty – Leicester; Sonia Barron – Nottingham. 

You should also have had the Summer Apsical, the APSE magazine, which Joolz sends out to everyone. Note that details about the September meeting are incorrect in that publication. Please let her know if you haven’t received this.  It is in PDF format and sent by email. (joolz4apse@gmail.com)

Looking forward to seeing you in September.  Please let us know if you intend coming just to give us an idea of numbers.  We will send the Zoom connection and all papers again nearer the time.

With our ‘warm’ greetings to you all

Susan and Helen
