Rev. Tim Ralphs

I am a OneSpirit Minister based in the East Midlands, offering spiritual counselling, supervision and ceremony, often in interfaith contexts. I also have more than fifteen years of performance storytelling experience, working internationally both as an artist, trainer and facilitator. This has given me a deep grounding in global myth and much of my practice draws from this wellspring. (For example: https://www.interfaithfoundation.org/news/resourcing-from-myth)

As a supervisor, I work extensively with Wilmot and Shohet’s Seven Eyed Model. I believe supervision enables you to be more fully present with your clients and to deepen your Ministry, whatever forms it might take, both inner and outer.

I approach my work from a perspective of evolving inclusion, but some core concepts run through everything I do: I hold a space of deep and profound listening. I encourage mindfulness, whether based in intero or exteroception. I consider the body to be both exquisitely sensitivity and precious. I strive, in myself, to be surrender ever more completely to the mystery of being.

TESTIMONIALS

“Tim was an excellent facilitator. He set clear and helpful boundaries at the outset, and his management of the sessions was characterised by warmth, calmness and gentle, encouraging support. One of the things I was hoping to get out of the course was a return to creative practice, and it was joyful to be able to do this. It was an absolute joy to attend, and I am taking away a great deal of learning.”

- Vicky, Course Participant

I was a OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation Group Tutor from 2018-2020. I currently facilitate the Story, Self and Spirit training, drawing on my
many years of working with global myth and narrative structure, to explore
how creative and narrative practice can be used in psycho-spiritual development.
