The Academy commences with an intensive, structured residential week in January, followed by on-going community-building and equipping by way of three quarterly re-focus days in April, July and October each year.
Deadline for applications: 31 October 2023.
Successful applicants will be informed of their acceptance to the academy via e-mail by no later than 15 November 2023.
