Description

This transformational workshop provides a unique opportunity for workshop participants to explore and discuss their calling as nurses, the use of their own power in their work, and the on-going meaning of their work as a nurse to support resilience, wellbeing, and professional commitment.

This 1-day workshop will draw on the award winning discovery model methods of RISHI’s national and international educational programs to offer participants the opportunity to discover the power of meaning to transform their experience of their daily work, revitalize their commitment and reinvigorate their service intention.

Using reflection, poetry, symbolism, narrative, art, journaling, generous listening and small group sharing Rachel Remen, MD, Mary Pat Thomas, RN, Dianne Duchesne, RN, and Evangeline Andarsio, MD, will enable participants to identify personalized tools for self-care and spiritual wellness at work.
