Quarterly Student Gatherings

The First Fridays Student Circle

The First Fridays Student Circle is a gentle, reflective space to pause, connect, and explore your experience of the training alongside others. Open to students, those considering the training, and newly ordained ministers, each gathering offers a welcoming opportunity to share, listen, and reflect together.
 
The first session offers an introduction to Samantha Moyo’s personal journey, alongside space for questions and a guided reflective meditation.
Future sessions will be shaped around themes that feel present and relevant within the curriculum, allowing each gathering to respond to what is unfolding in real time.
 
Whether you join each session or come along when it feels right, you are warmly welcomed into this space of connection and shared reflection.
