FIRST SEGMENT FEATURING Reverend Bobbi Patterson, PhD..
Tuesday, March 9 at 6pm
Recasting burnout as a crucial phase of service, Building Resilience Through Contemplative Practice uses real-world case studies to teach professionals and volunteers unique skills for cultivating resilience. Viewing service and burnout as interdependent throughout phases of stability, collapse, reorganization, and exploitation, the book uniquely combines elements of adaptive resilience theory with contemplative practices and pedagogies.
Drawing on the author’s extensive experience working at the intersection of service and contemplative practices, this is the first book to demonstrate how and why professionals and volunteers can reframe burnout as an opportunity for resilience-building service. User-friendly case studies provide tools, skills, and exercises for reconstructive next steps. Chapters address personal, group, and structural levels of service and burnout.

Hear Dean Kate Moorehead, author of 'Healed: How Mary Magdalene was Made Well' as she talked about the demons that possessed Mary Magdalene and how she came to be healed. After a short presentation with slides, Dean Kate will lead the class in a reflective exercise followed by discussion. The goal of this segment is to assist with the triage of thoughts, allow God to begin to heal our minds and help us see how Mary Magdalene can be our guide in a journey to mental and spiritual health.
