Program Themes:

A New Beginning
Explore the gifts and challenges of reopening during the pandemic. What experience do we carry? What will we need for the year’s journey?

Transitions
The world has changed dramatically. How are we being changed? What do we leave behind? What do we want to take forward? What sustains us for the new reality?

Healing from Overwhelming Compassion Fatigue
How do we find hope in the traumas we have experienced? How do we care for ourselves and for one another? How do we create space to grieve and discover new life?

Re-Connecting as a Team
Our time apart and our struggles have changed us as individuals. Explore the changes and how we can leverage them to be a stronger team moving forward in this new reality.

A Way through Suffering
The pandemic and racism have amplified suffering for many and caused new suffering for others in many different ways. What should we do with our grief? What should we do with all the questions we have – about life, our purpose and a way forward? See where we are against the larger backdrop of Love and Hope that provide us with direction and healing.

Our experienced staff can work with you to develop other topics.
