The Stories We Live By: - A Day with Monty Williams - where we will examine the nature of the myths we live by. Using Erikson’s psycho-social constructs of personal development he will show how the perspective from which we appropriate our spirituality (our myths) is shaped by our interactions with our context, and then will use the weeks of the Exercises to show how spiritual development can occur by allowing Christ to enter those myths. Canisius NSW 8 Sep, Campion VIC 6 Oct
Narrative Strategies in the Exercises - A Day with Monty Williams - Together we will look at the way the separate weeks of the Exercises deconstruct and then recontstruct the stories of our lives to bring us to a position of being living words of the Father in the world Canisius NSW 9 Sep, Campion VIC 7 Oct
