‘In Conversation’ with Michael Emmett - Nigel MC - *Two Chair Set Up

Michael Emmett found his name in the headlines when he was arrested for a £13million drug bust in 1993. It was one of the UK’s biggest at the time. While in prison, with his father in the same cell, he happened to find God, hope, and with those, a new lease of life.

A transformed and loving family man, Michael is sowing seeds of hope and charity around the world through speaking events, podcasts, and more. He hopes sharing his story of desperation and darkness will encourage others to step into the light.

Workshop 1: So You Want to Run a Recovery Course? (Location: TBC)

Justyn Rees Larcombe & Susie Flashman Jarvis

Starting The Recovery Course might initially appear to be a challenging endeavor, but in reality, it is a more manageable process than it may seem at first glance. Justyn and Susie offer a comprehensive and user-friendly step-by-step guide to help individuals navigate the process of launching and establishing the course successfully.

Workshop 2: Mind, Body and Spirit: Healing the Addicted: (Location: TBC)

Dr Robin Lawrence & Kay Lawrence

Question and Answer session to support their main talk.

"In addiction we tend to compartmentalise and split off aspects of ourselves. In the main talk we look at the person as a whole being, taking into consideration the brain chemistry, how the addicted mind works, and its effect on our spirituality."

Five minutes switch over

Optional Workshops: 15.05 – 15.35

Workshop 3: How to Be a Great Small Group Leader (Location: TBC)

Nigel & Jan Skelsey

According to our guests, the small groups are the most important part of the course. They like the food and talk, but they absolutely love a well run Group, because it is here that real change happens. Jan and Nigel Skelsey will share what we need to consider doing in order to run a group effectively, but, more importantly, what not to do! Come and learn from their mistakes.

Workshop 4: Supporting Your Course with Prayer (Location: TBC)

Revd’s Bob & Karen Street

You can run The Recovery Course without organised and persistent prayer, but we strongly recommend you do not!

This workshop aims to empower individuals with the tools and understanding needed to effectively integrate prayer into their recovery course.
