Moana Reflective Day

Overview

A reflective day with Siobhan Burke and Paula Shanks. 

All good stories contain a deep wisdom that can resonate with our own journey through life.

The Disney Pixar film Moana is based on stories from Polynesian mythology and tells the story of Moana, the daughter of a Polynesian chief, who embarks on an epic journey after the plants and fish on her island start dying.

In this day, we will draw on the story and its wisdom to look at themes including: risking leaving the familiar in search of new life, finding your way without a map, and learning to trust the deepest parts of yourself.

The day will contain times of gentle input, personal reflection time and the opportunity to be creative in the afternoon.

Although it would probably be helpful to have watched the film beforehand, please don’t be put off if you haven’t seen it. We will also be showing the film on Tuesday 28th May at 7pm at St Bede’s for anyone who wishes to watch it then.

Siobhan Burke is a Spirituality Team Member at St Bede’s working in spiritual formation.

Paula Shanks is trained in Ignatian Spiritual Accompaniment with a background in teaching.
