Reflective Practice Groups
Reflective Practice Groups are most effective for groups of 5-6 clergy with a trained, independent facilitator, meeting regularly over two years.
- St Luke’s for Clergy Wellbeing believes that clergy who are involved in pastoral care need the training and discipline of frequent, ongoing support or supervision to sustain their work and help them flourish
- Regular reflection in a group has been shown to reduce feelings of isolation, support boundary-setting and develop self-awareness
- Dioceses can request funding for their existing groups, or dioceses wanting to set up new groups can contact St Luke’s for help with the process, and this will be funded by the wellbeing workshops programme
- Each group supported, for one year, will count as one course credit
