Reading life through the Principle, Cleeve House 2nd – 8th September 2018

William Haines June 21, 2018 FFWPU UK Education Department

If you don’t know the trees you may be lost in the forest, but if you don’t know the stories you may be lost in life. — Siberian Elder

People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it’s the other way around. — Terry Pratchett

The stories we tell literally make the world. If you want to change the world, you need to change your story. — Michael Margolis

During this workshop we shall be telling stories. Looking at stories of creation, fall and redemption, stories of leadership and community building. Stories of conflict and stories of healing.

As individuals, families, a community and nation we form our identity in terms of a narrative. Sometimes the story imprisons and damages us. On the other hand, stories can also liberate and heal and show us how to respond to the challenges we face.

We will be focusing on the stories of Genesis and Exodus. Stories that are the basis of our culture and identity. These are stories about individuals, families and a nation that have made a tremendous impression on our lives, our families and our community. Sometimes these stories have been told and interpreted in a way that is harmful to us and our relationships. Sometimes we need to go and re-read these stories to uncover deeper meanings so that they can bring healing and resolution of our hurts and fears and reconciliation between parents and children, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies. The stories we were told shape us and affect how we see ourselves and how we respond to the world. How shall we tell these stories to our children and grandchildren? Will they be better than the way we were told?

Come to this workshop and change your world and the world in which you live.

During this workshop as well as talks there will be discussion, guided reflections, games, opportunities for questions and answers, a prayer evening, as well as an outing including a tour of Avebury – a world heritage site – and a cream tea in Marlborough.

Reflection from an earlier workshop

“It’s hard to sum up the past week on the recent ‘Reading life through the Principle’workshop. William Haines being the lecturer, I knew there would be fireworks. However, I didn’t realise those fireworks would light up the Principle in a way I have never seen before. I felt my understanding of the Principle was being peeled off the pages of the book and directly applied to situations in my own life, to relationships with my parents, to my brother, and my wife. This truly was one of my favourite workshops. It was relaxed, it was fun and it was deep. I will not forget it for a very long time.”
