Healing on Purpose: Growing Through the Narrow Spots with Richard Leider and Ruth Bachman
Thursday, November 4, 2010
Purpose matters. Purpose can give us the will to live. Experiencing the power of purpose is vital for people healing from an acute illness or living with a chronic condition. When confronted by a “purpose” moment - a serious diagnosis or an unexpected life event, we have the choice to ‘push the river’ or to let life question us. This experiential session will help us to let life’s questions guide us. You will discover new skills and leave with a Healing on Purpose tool that can support ongoing conversations within yourself and with others. This special free workshop will be held at McNamara Alumni Center from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. To register go to www.mmf.umn.edu/goto/healingonpurpose or call 612-625-5682. For more information on Ruth Bachman in the Star Tribune, click here.  Check out the Center's NEW Whole Systems Healing website.
Whole Systems Healing is a way of cultivating the health and well-being of individuals, communities, societies, and the environment by living with awareness of the interconnectedness of living systems. In addition to the home page, there are four learning modules now available: - The Gentle Action module explores how you can effect change through small, interactive actions.
- The Understanding Complex Systems module educates us about the complex social and natural systems we live in and what we can do to positively influence them.
- The Sustainability module presents a model for true sustainability and gives us practical steps toward sustainability in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
- The Whole Systems Leadership module presents a new vision of participative leadership that emerges in groups so they can make progress on the issues they care about- even in unpredictable and changing conditions.
