Join us for a Day of Learning with the Rev. Dr. Elaine Heath…
During this day, clergy and laity will become equipped with descriptions and definitions to better understand the range and types of trauma. Elaine Heath will outline practical trauma interventions for harm prevention and suggest ways to respond and nurture individuals who have encountered trauma in their lives or the church.
Knowing that we cannot foster healing in the world without attending to our healing, we will explore the interconnectedness of personal healing with communal healing, and initial pathways to integrate the two. Drawing from ancient and contemporary wisdom from Christian tradition and trauma studies, participants will learn how to embrace with self-compassion, their own experiences of pain, in order to become “wounded healers.”
This interactive day will incorporate small group discussions and time for personal reflection.
September 12 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm at
