Short Courses
Soul Seekers offers short-courses aimed at supporting you to develop a deep spiritual life through time-honored practices and ideas based around silence, meditation and reflection.
Soul Seekers courses support you to incorporate Christian contemplative practices and ideas into your everyday life to help you grow in relationship with God, and live a deeper, more fulfilling life.
Soul Seekers courses combine the wisdom of ancient and contemporary contemplative teachers with a twist of modern psychology.
Soul Seekers courses are an open and welcoming environment to explore your spirituality, ask the tricky questions and be honest about who you are and how you wish to grow spiritually.
Currently Soul Seekers offers two spirituality courses:
