The setting of the prayer spaces can be a school, youth centre, parish hall, workplace, open-plan area, or outdoor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course offers participants the opportunity to grow in their connectedness with themselves, others, the world, and God through the experience of the prayer spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It enables the participants to accompany others and explore their faith, spirituality, and life\u2019s big questions in a safe, creative, and interactive way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helped the participants better understand the shift from living merely to functioning, fulfilling demands and expectations, and leading a more meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also invites the participants to become aware that relationships are strengthened when one takes the time to appreciate and reflect upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-button\"
