Soul Tour is an intensive course for young adults, focused on holistic personal development. It aims to equip participants to better understand their own human mind, emotions and behaviour. The curriculum has been adapted from David Riddell's 'Living Wisdom' course and draws upon Christian friendly insights from a wide range of fields. These include psychology, philosophy, counselling and theology. The course currently exists in two formats - a three day partial course which covers 18 topics, and a six day full course covering over 60 topics. Participant numbers are limited to ensure that the course experience is interactive and fun. Soul Tour is run exclusively for young adults aged 16-28yrs at the time of the course. It is ideal for individuals and couples who are eager to understand themselves and others better, improve their people helping skills, process past hurts/traumas, develop Christian character and discover who they are and what they want from life! Youth workers and social workers will find the course content particularly useful in a professional capacity. Soul Tour is also popular for pre-married and newly married couples who benefit from new skills and having a common language to discuss potential issues. A moderate level of academic ability is required to engage meaningfully with the material. Also, while individuals who have no Christian faith of their own are welcome at Soul Tour, no apology will be offered for the unmistakably Christian foundation and framework of the course, which includes robust discussion on the topic of faith, Biblical content, prayer and worship. According to over 3000 young people who have already completed it, the long term benefits of attending Soul Tour include...
