Canon Wendy Barrie, in collaboration with leaders from the Godly Play Foundation and frm the Diocese of Olympia have planned a wonder-filled Godly Play in-service day! If you’re new to this methodology or a long-time practitioner, we hope you’ll join us for education, renewal, and community building. This event represents a collaboration between the Diocese of Olympia, the Godly Play Foundation, and Saint Mark’s Cathedral. Our day-long agenda is packed with good things! Break-out session will include and Introduction & Overview (for those new to Godly Play), and a Best Practices Exchange & Refresher (for experienced practitioners). We’ll also spend time together exploring new stories and other advances at the Godly Play Foundation, including the “Beloved Me/Beloved We” project, the results of a recent equity audit, and the “Every Day Godly Play” initiative. A Materials Exchange will allow participants to swap supplies. Finally, we’re excited to unveil our “Model Godly Play Classroom,” located in the St. Nicholas building and recently transformed by an artist and volunteers into an ideal space for gathering children. $25/person includes continental breakfast and lunch and a book with registration.
