2019 NATIONAL RISHI CLINICIAN AND STUDENT WELL-BEING RETREAT

The Wounded Healer: Exploring Compassion & Empathy for Self and Others in Health Care

Mills Park Hotel, Yellow Springs, OH 

 As health care professionals we are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually.  Dr. Remen suggests “it is our woundedness that teaches us to be gentle with the wounds of others, to trust the natural and mysterious process of healing and to develop an innate compassion and empathy for others, so that those in pain are not alone when they are with us, and know that they are safe with us.  Our wounds do not diminish us, they make us trustworthy.”  This workshop offers an opportunity to reflect on the Wounded Healer archetype.

Are you seeking reflection and renewal in your professional and personal life?

If so, please join us for an incredibly enriching experience! This 1-½ day workshop will draw on the award-winning discovery model methods of the Remen Institute for the Study of Health and Illness (RISHI). This workshop offers nourishment and self-care for healthcare professionals and medical/nursing students. Medical and nursing students will have their own small groups to explore the archetype of the wounded healer.
