Foundations of GPC with Tilda Norberg

 

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Gestalt Pastoral Care different… let our founder explain in her own words.

This short clip from a Foundation Course with Tilda Norberg reminds us:
Healing isn’t about fixing. It’s about being with—in the presence of God.

📖 Come sit with this wisdom for a few moments today.

Contemplative Spirituality and Practices in the Black Church

 This workshop is open to seekers. dreamers and those who serve others as counsellors and spiritual directors. You will have an opportunity to work on your own dream or be an observer.  

Understand the gift of dreams that will change your life. “Your dreams send you nightly invitations to grow... Dreams spring from your feelings and fears, your scars and strengths, your hidden depths and desires....Dreams are God speaking your language.” 

Tilda Norberg, The Chocolate Covered Umbrella

Faith imagination

Contemplative Spirituality and Practices in the Black Church

Faith imagination

 

“Faith Imagination is a way of praying in which we specifically invite God to enter into our experience in a way that we can perceive God’s work in us.

We do this in the faith that God wants to meet us at our growing edge, or where we are most vulnerable,  hurting or scared.”
