Godly Play has been developed from the Montessori tradition by Dr Jerome Berryman. Although
it was originally developed as a resource for children, Godly Play is now being used with people of
all ages in a diversity of settings - churches, schools, hospitals, prisons, care homes for the
elderly. Please go to www.godlyplay.uk for more information. A helpful Youtube video is

The outline of the day
During the day you will experience two Godly Play sessions in a fully equipped Godly Play
classroom. After each session there will be a time to reflect on the experience in order to
explore the principles of Godly Play. There will also be information about the resources available
to support Godly Play as well as details of courses to take it further.
It is customary, but not required, to sit on the floor for the first part of a Godly Play session so
please feel free to dress casually.
