The workshop was on Friday evening from 7.30pm until 10.00pm and on Saturday from 10.00am until 3pm. This workshop was a gentle, nourishing weekend where we took time out from our busy lives and get in touch with our soul energy.

Lilliian O'Brien and team ran three sessions with small groups in St Joseph's Parish Balcurris on:
- 'Our Place Jesus' Place'
- Gospel reflections on the Good Samaritan
- Gospel Reflection on the Paralysed Man
"The whole experience was wondeful, the Gospel reflections were so easy to follow and worked a treat. The reflection questions in each Gospel session were powerful, provoking great conversation. We hope to do something about Luke's Gospel in the whole parish."

Catherine Keenan, trainer of CPE students in the John of God Centre Stillorgan asked us to run Soul Scripts. We had to divide the process into two separate afternoons. The level of participation was excellent but we know it would be better in future to try to negotiate for a whole day.

Tom works in Brazil in biblical grassroots animation, using the approach of Carlos Mesters mainly with the socially excluded classes of towns and cities. Topics which will be touched on wlll be:
- Exchanging ideas about how each of us read the Bible.
- Jesus: His life and times, something of the history and geography of Palestine, as opposed to how our society works today.
- The options made by Jesus - his place in the social pyramid of the time, where he got all his wisdom from, and why he did what he did.

Dr. Patricia O’Connell Killen led two days in July in Kimmage on the Art of Theological Reflection. This was Patricia's second visit to Ireland at the invitation of Partners in Faith and was very well attended. At least four local groups have adopted the techniques introduced in the workshop and are meeting monthly to do theological reflection. The process is highly respectful of our everyday experiences as the place where God speaks and invites us to link our experience with the Tradition, trusting our own wisdom.
Photographs from the workshop are available from the 'Photos' section of the website.
