International conference discussing children’s spirituality

The International Association of Children’s Spirituality held their first in-person event since Covid in mid-July. Ruth Wills (Liverpool Hope University) and Sarah Holmes (CYM & LHU) were delighted to host the 38 delegates from across the globe at the Liverpool Hope campus.

The conversations were rich and varied – exploring the nature of children’s spirituality, the essence of spiritual health, attentive listening, sacred space and a child’s spiritual compass. We also enjoyed the stimulating and inspiring workshops: art as prayer, the World Café, Forest school approaches, and a musical activity. And the most amazing drumming workshop run by Katumba – such a profound, fun and engaging collaborative activity. 

We look forward to gathering together to discuss these topics again soon.
