Exploring Everyday Spirituality – A resource for exploring the meaningful and the sacred.

Our beliefs act as an inner compass and provide purpose to our very existence. Yet, spirituality can be a challenging topic to discuss.

Signposts is a set of 48 cards that invite users into meaningful conversations about spirituality, connectedness, faith and transformation while recognising and celebrating the diverse ways people express their beliefs.

This tool is not based on one particular theology or philosophy but draws from a range of religious, mystical and spiritual traditions. The set offers users a way to reflect on life’s purpose and turn values into actions.

Each card combines a powerful full-colour photograph with a few simple words to prompt reflection on our beliefs and fuel discussions with others on matters we hold close to our hearts.

Signposts can be used in a variety of ways. Plus, the set comes with a 26 page instructional booklet with engaging activity suggestions.

This captivating set of cards is an ideal resource for chaplains, psychologists, spiritual counsellors, creative therapists and social workers. Signposts is also perfect for families looking for a gentle way to discuss values and beliefs with children and young people.
