Continuing Professional Development for Supervisors
Videos available from Christian Perspectives on the Supervisory Process
Session 1: Hosting & Containing: Supervision as Sabbath Space
What does the self-emptying, space-making God of Philippians 2 teach us about the role of the supervisor? In what ways does supervision echo sabbath invitations?
Session 2: Eliciting & Focusing: Turning Aside to Look
Exodus 3 heralds the call to stop, look and look again until what is beheld reveals its meaning. Contemplative seeing lies at the heart of transformative supervision.
Session 3: Exploring & Imagining: Making the Peripheral Central
In Luke 8, by touching the hem of his garment, a woman’s healing stops Jesus in his tracks. What has happened on the periphery of awareness, Jesus makes central and explicit. So too in supervision the peripheral becomes central.
