Godly Play: Onsite Core Training Intensive

Thursday May 7 – Sunday May 10, 2026

In-Person at 6000 Sussex Ave., Burnaby BC

Godly Play Core Training (In person Intensive) takes place over twenty-two contact hours. Participants will have one – one hour session via Zoom pre-event with a small group and a Trainer to workshop their Sacred Story storytelling skills.

The training will cover: development and practice of both roles (Doorperson & Storyteller); and all story genres – Sacred, Parable, Liturgical Action with the fourth genre, silence, woven throughout. There are also plenaries on creating sacred space, supporting the community of children, children’s spirituality, the Godly Play environment and getting started. Reading, reflecting and practicing stories between sessions is also part of the work.

We use an action/reflection model with some leader presentations and a lot of interaction. All learning will take place in a prayerful and playful atmosphere with creative and experienced Godly Play trainers. There are lots of things you can learn from a lecture, but Godly Play is learned from the inside out!
