Door Person Workshop in the Maritimes

Sat. October 14, 2023  10:00 AM – 3:00 PM 

    Christ Church Cathedral in Fredericton, NB

    Doorpersons are key figures in supporting children who gather in community. This workshop offers a unique way to encourage and support volunteers helping with children’s programs.

    This 5-hour workshop will be offered at the Anglican Cathedral in Fredericton, NB. Leadership will be provided by experienced Godly Play trainers, Cathy Laskey and Anne Pirie.

    We will explore the principles and practices of Godly Play especially for Doorpersons, and deepen and expand an experience of Godly Play particularly the role of Doorperson.  Participants may be part of a Godly Play program, and/or have an interest in leadership with children.

    During the day participants will:

    • Deepen understanding of how a Doorperson supports the circle of children in gathering, listening, wondering, work, the feast and leaving.
    • Experience a full session of Godly Play
    • Participate in Discovery Sessions on Supporting a Godly Play Environment, Supporting Children in their Work, Relationships & Managing Disruptions 

    Participant cost:  $35 – bring your own lunch
