This Storyteller and Door Person Accredited Training Course runs over four Saturdays in the Spring and early Summer of 2026.
21st March
25th April
16th May
6th June
Each day starts at 9:30am and finishes by 4:30pm.
The venue is the Godly Play Scotland Centre at Duddingston Kirk Manse, Edinburgh.
The Godly Play Storyteller and Door Person Accredited Training is designed to give people a better understanding of both the theory and practice of Godly Play.
The course explores each of the main types of story – sacred, parables and liturgy. We concentrate on the core stories that people usually tell at the beginning of their Godly Play journey. Alongside the stories and wondering, are workshops that explore the theology and theory behind Godly Play.
There is a mixture of trainer led and participant storytelling sessions – so you have the opportunity to tell a story as part of the course and see and wonder about 14 other stories.
Usually the Storyteller and Door Person training courses have long days, but running this course over four days offers a more relaxed pace and some space for reflection.
The cost of this course is from £315. This includes a course handbook, lunches, and refreshments.
We are offering early bird (10%) discount for bookings made before 31st January, and second mouse* (5%) discount for booking made between then and 21st February.
