A Spiritual
Toolkit

How might engaging with
 –  the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator  –  the Enneagram  – 
 –  Walking a Labyrinth  –  a Spiritual Director  –  your Dreams  – 
assist you in your spiritual journey?

Five talks on these fascinating subjects, from the experts!
1 May How the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® can support our Spiritual Journey
or ‘Surprisingly, not everyone sees things my way!’

The MBTI® is widely used but not always wisely used.  Michael summarises its considerable value as a tool for self-awareness and development, along with appropriate cautions.  He indicates how it can usefully be extended as a support, and in making choices, during our spiritual journey.
Michael Joseph
Michael Joseph’s early background is in management in large organisations.  For many years now he has focused on encouraging personal development and more effective personal and professional relationships both in the workplace and elsewhere through coaching and workshops.  He also has developed a strong interest in Spirituality in the Second Half of Life, particularly from mid-life and through retirement.

Sally Welch spoke without notes, so there is no text for this talk.
On the floor of the United Church Mrs Welch laid a cloth labyrinth based on the labyrinth in the floor of Chartres Cathedral.  On Wikimedia Commons there are some pictures of that labyrinth and a diagram of the layout.
22 May Spiritual Direction:  Walking alongside Peter Lippiett
The Rev’d Canon Dr Peter Lippiett is an Anglican priest, and was until recently Spirituality Advisor in the Diocese of Portsmouth.  Now retired to Twyford, near Winchester, he works at being a husband, grandfather, gardener and traveller, and assists in local parishes.  He has been a medical doctor, parish priest, retreat house warden and leader of an international, ecumenical Christian community.

29 May Healing Dreams
Considering that a third of the Bible is related to dreams and their outcomes it is surprising that we seldom have any teaching in this subject in our churches.  We shall therefore be exploring the role and purpose of dreams in our personal and spiritual growth.
Russ Parker
The Rev’d Dr Russ Parker has been Director since 1995 of Acorn Christian Healing Foundation, which exists to resource and educate the church in the Christian Healing Ministry.  Russ is the author of a number of books which include:  Healing Dreams, Healing Death’s Wounds (with Michael Mitton), Free to Fail, Forgiveness is Healing and Dream Stories, among other titles.  His latest book is an anthology of prayer poems for public and private use, Wild Spirit of the Living God.
Russ travels extensively around the UK and abroad, lecturing and teaching in issues connected with the Christian Healing and Healthcare, Reconciliation and Church Transformation.

of those who have chosen their destiny,
who have started upon their quest for the source of their being”

and holiness of character
that we may feel at home
in your presence.
Amen.
