Foundation
This is the initial class for those interested in the practice of Gestalt Pastoral Care. One of the unique aspects of GPC Training is that while one is learning the integration of spiritual companioning, healing prayer, and Gestalt growth work for the purpose of helping others, one also has the opportunity to engage in his/her own spiritual growth and healing process.

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.”
(Consenting to Grace, Tilda Norberg)
