Healing Retreat: Maintaining Spiritual Health
While Working with the Dying |
| |
Robert A.F. Thurman, PhD, and Leslie Blackhall,
MD, MTS |

Participants
will be led in the “Medicine Buddha Contemplative
Practice” to pacify all negative energies,
karmic disorders and external obstacles. This retreat
is intended to accumulate merit and increase one’s
positive mind and spiritual development while bringing
harmony in relationships with one’s self, family,
patients, friends, community and environment in
order to achieve a holistic balance.
Caring for those near the end-of-life may be a job,
but it is also a calling. To be called to do this
work means that we bear witness to death as a part
of celebrating life, that we view the painful and
unanswerable questions raised by nearness of death
not as stressors to be endured, but as our spiritual
path. In this workshop, we will use a combination
of reflective writing, mindfulness meditation and
appreciative inquiry to explore ways of reconnecting
to the spiritual heart of end-of-life care. We will
also look at how we can integrate these practices
into our work environment. |
