This is a face to face two day immersive workshop with international supervisor, trainer and author Dr Michael Paterson exploring the spirituality of supervision, its core principles and transformative dynamism.
This two day mini retreat will invite us to drop down into that contemplative space which lies at the heart of our calling, to look and listen to the One who looks back at us and calls us to go deeper.
