The Wayne E. Oates Institute is a Connected Learning Community exploring spirituality and health as a way to advance integrative care for the whole person. The Oates Institute is a non-profit educational organization made up of caregivers from the medical, spiritual and counseling communities providing a forum for joining together as an interdisciplinary dialogue toward understanding the relationship between spirituality and the healing process.

Are you looking for a unique gift for your minister, counselor, friend, or family member? We recommend a copy of Wayne Oates' autobiography, The Struggle To Be Free: My Story and Your Story, or perhaps a gift certificate for one of our Online Seminars or for WEOI membership.

If you want to show someone how much you appreciate them for the next 12 months, purchase a gift certificate for WEOI membership. Members can participate in Online Seminars without any additional cost. By giving someone a membership in the Oates Institute you give them a year of seminars and full access to the Oates Journal.

In The Struggle To Be Free, Dr. Wayne Oates reflects on his struggle to be free to decide his own destiny; to choose his own direction; to express his own thoughts; to work in his own way; and to put into action what he perceived as God’s destiny for him.

He leads readers to reflect on the spiritual dimensions of their own lives, so that they might set themselves free from feelings of inferiority, regimentation, loneliness, helplessness, and compulsive work. The Second Edition of this book has just been published by the Oates Institute in quality paper for only $21.95.

When you give someone a Seminar Gift Certificate, the recipient may use it for any future online seminar offered by the Oates Institute. Most of our Online Seminars last 3 weeks and are designed so that anyone can participate from any where in the world, as long as they have internet access. WEOI seminars are designed to provide participants with maximum schedule flexibility. We offer more than 40 online seminars per year on a wide variety of topics. Seminar participants have the opportunity to earn at least 12 contact hours of approved continuing professional education credit. Seminar Gift Certificates are only $60.

By giving the gift of a membership in the Oates Institute you not only support the work of the Oates Institute, you provide the recipient with the opportunity to participate in as many as seven Online Seminars and have full access to the Oates Journal for 12 months - including full access to the Special Issues and archives. In addition, WEOI members receive the support of being part of the Oates Institute learning community. Membership Gift Certificates are only $120 for a 12-month membership.
