Space Makers - Diocese of Oxford

This is a simple, yet powerful, contemplative toolkit designed to support the wellbeing, resilience, and spiritual growth of children within schools, churches, and family settings.

Through five reflective practices – Stilling, Noticing, Dwelling, Mending, and Blessing – pupils, of all faiths and worldviews, learn how to create moments of calm and connection within everyday life.

The training equips staff and leaders with the confidence, resources, and practical guidance to embed these practices in their setting, helping children and young people flourish emotionally, spiritually, and socially. It will help you discover how Space Makers can enrich the life and Christian culture of your school.

The training works most effectively and has the greatest impact of children’s spiritual flourishing when schools and churches attend together, although we understand that logistics can be difficult so happily welcome both independently.
