Faith-Based Practice PD Day

"Ko te Wairua Tapu te Puna o te Hauora": the Holy Spirit is the wellspring of wellbeing.

All welcome to a day growing our faith-based counselling competence and bicultural relationships.

• Reflect on your theology of counselling with Revs Diane Gilliam-Weeks and Reg Weeks

• Be part of NZCCA's bicultural journey and learn about our new name: Te Rōpū Tohutohu Karaitiana o Aotearoa

• Be refreshed in worship and prayer and friendship.

Cost is $65, including lunch.

1/2 price for students!

This is a training event of the Wellington branch of Te Rōpū Tohutohu Karaitiana o Aotearoa, New Zealand Christian Counsellors Association.

Diane and Reg are both Presbyterian ministers, based in Eastbourne. Between them they bring rich experience in ministry, chaplaincy, Spiritual Direction, supervision and leadership. They will lead an afternoon session with us, reflecting on:

1. What does it mean to be a professional with faith?

2. What tools are in the box of our practice and in our clients’ lives that can contribute to wholeness?

3. What unhelpful beliefs might need to be brought into the light for the benefit of our clients?
