“I appreciated everyone’s insight and honest comments. I thought many of the heartfelt conversations revealed a real need for open dialogue. I wonder how much of that would have occurred in a face-to-face meeting.”

—Rev. Bruce Frogge, pastor

Phipps and "Spirituality, Art, and Health" by art historian Lynn Meckler. A third resource will be the art in an Oates Journal article, "Art and Healing: A Personal Reflection" by artist Cherry Moore.

Engaging One's Story: Transitions in Adult Life
12.0 contact hours / Facilitators: Jim Mahanes and Chris Hammon

    Using the metaphors found in film, Jungian archetypes, and stories, this seminar encourages participants to explore their personal stories as a platform for examining transitions in adult life. The seminar is a continuation of the Baseball, Ghosts, and Field of Dreams seminar, however, participation in that seminar is not required.

    Seminar participants will utilize email discussion to reflect on three popular films as examples of transition stories, share their stories, and engage in dialogue about counseling others in the midst of adult life transitions.

Healing Power of Stories -- 6 weeks
July 9-August 17 / 24.0 contact hours / Presenter: Canon Marlin Whitmer

    This online seminar led by the Rev. Canon Marlin Whitmer will take the stories you hear as a basis for reflecting on metaphors and metaphorical patterns. Also through the metaphors and metaphorical patterns we will make connections with Biblical stories as well as our own stories. This on-going learning experience will relate these fundamentals of language and Word to pastoral care and health care. Both are grounded on listening, language, and metaphor as health care moves out into the community with chronic illness overshadowing acute care.

    WEOI members free / non-member $90
    (limited to 12 participants)

Human Values and Health Care
12.0 contact hours / Facilitator: Kay Roberts, Ed.D., ARNP, FAAN

This seminar helps professional care givers prepare to address ethical questions being raised by patients and family members in the care of the aged, the impaired, and the institutionalized. The seminar engages participants in reflective dialogue around presentations by biomedical ethicist Dr. Paul Simmons, medical ethicist and neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Sexton, and nursing professor Dr. Kay Roberts.

Nurturing Silence and Sabbath
12.0 contact hours / Facilitator: Lynn Smith, M.Div., RN

    In the process of giving care to others, care givers often overlook their own practice of self-care. Through peer dialogue around three presentations, this seminar provides participants an opportunity to reflect on their own care regarding rest and personal renewal while learning to observe the sacrament of the present moment and affirm the gift and necessity of rest.
