Testimonials:
'This course reconciles personal, professional and pastoral beautifully, and has shown me how it is within the human connection that mind, heart and spirit merge and fuel each other in caring for both ourselves and others'.
'I really benefited and enjoyed this course. In contrast to courses on efficiency and best clinical practice which work off the premise of a 'them and us' framework, this course was focused on 'we' and offered many moments for pause and reflection, which even now, weeks later, come into focus for attention. I also valued the insights shared with us in such an engaging and generous way'.
'Your classes served as a timely reminder of how my role in healthcare is a composite matrix of personal awareness, pastoral sensitivity and professional skills. Each week, the concepts covered reminded me again and again of the potency of being a kind, patient, sensitive, self-aware and skilled listening ear who hears both the spoken and the unsaid'.
'I have been reminded of how our connections with each other whether patients or colleagues or anyone, if powered by an sensitive open heart, can make for helpful and healing encounters, where the personal, pastoral and professional merge seamlessly into effective caring'.
