Spirituality

Dr. Bernie Siegel uses his trademark humor and examples from his patients to stimulate belief in God and to examine our beliefs about ourselves. He looks at the ways our spiritual lives have an impact on health, and encourages the audience to “follow your heart, not your head."

EXPLORING THE EUCHARIST

Help adults develop a deeper understanding of the Eucharist. This program guides them through the Eucharistic service and involves them in the key aspects of confession, proclamation, offering and thanksgiving. It helps participants explore how they live those dimensions in daily life. Great for those new to the church and for congregations seeking to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist. Also includes liturgical notes outlining two ways to develop an instructed Eucharist for your congregation.

Connecting Baptismal Vows and Prayer Forms

The Practically Christian process links the five baptismal vows with six classical prayer forms of Adoration, Penitence, Intercession, Petition, Thanksgiving, and Praise and moves each person to faithful action and reflection. These six units are sequential but could be taken in any order with some minor adaptation. Each unit can also be done as a separate program. Each unit has six sessions for connecting the unit's prayer focus (for instance, Adoration) with each of the five baptismal vows and concludes with a group celebration.

What is Reiki? And what, if anything, has it got to do with Christian healing? 

Alice Mindrum, Episcopal priest and Reiki master teacher, shares the story of Reiki and her own journey from being healed to becoming a healer. You will be introduced to how Reiki “works,” as well as the ways in which Reiki is taught, learned and practiced, particularly in the Christian context.

This program introduces participants to the full spectrum of Christian prayer methods and encourages them to incorporate these practices into their daily lives. Twenty-two lesson plans can be used as a year-long course, as four separate courses or individually.
