Quarterly Workshops for Angulimala’s Buddhist Prison Chaplains only:
Please put the following dates for this year’s workshops in your diaries. They are the first Saturdays of March and June and the last Saturdays of August and November.
The dates are:
Saturdays, March 2nd, June 1st, August 31st and November 30th.
The March workshop will be in person and on Zoom. Those in June and August will be here, in person only, and I hope in the garden. November’s will be on Zoom only.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide Buddhist prison chaplains with mentoring and ongoing supervision and peer support. Attendance otherwise is by invitation to Angulimala members only. New chaplains especially, so that we can get to know you and help you settle in, you should attend at least two workshops in each calendar year. But for everyone, really the more you can come to and the more you contribute, the more we will all benefit.
The workshops are important for several reasons that most will well understand. They offer support and friendship, they enable the sharing of information and good practice, they provide opportunities to offload concerns and difficulties, they are reminders of what Buddhist prison chaplains are supposed to be doing, they encourage and help chaplains to maintain and improve standards, and they keep the team together. And they’re often good fun.
