WORKSHOPS FOR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
I offer workshops which can be done at your location. Workshops can be two hour experiences, or designed as a full day retreat.
Grief and Loss: workshop identifying a “spiritual inheritance”
we may experience as part of grief for someone in our life who
has died, and a “living memorial” of integrating that quality
into our present lives.
Spirituality of Relationships and Marriage: following Harville HendrixÍ theories that we can learn a great deal about ourselves and grow from understanding what goes on in our relationships, the highs and especially the conflicts. When we first fall in love, our lover feels like the solution to whatÍs been missing in life. Later in life together, that person may come to seem like The Problem, the one keeping us from what we want and need. Hendrix feels we unconsciously pick an ideal person to help us work through issues from our family of origin, if only we do the work.
Spirituality of Parenthood: A discussion of ways life with a child has brought us into a closer relationship with God. Are there particular stages of our childÍs development we particularly enjoy, or dread, or struggle through? Each stage is a chance to relive our own experience at those ages. If weÍre conscious of this, parenthood can be an opportunity for our own deep healing. If weÍre not, we may repeat old family styles of parenting.
Faith and Anxiety: We look at everyday anxieties we all live with as well
as “anxiety disorders” - phobias, panic attacks, which are
so common in our culture. If we stop trying to kill off our anxiety
and instead understand it, we can uncover beliefs we operate with
but are not aware we hold. Understanding our anxieties and be
the path to a deeper faith, and faith that is part of our daily,
personal lives. |
