Please note: We offer this retreat as an experience of RISHI’s discovery model of learning. Any participant who would like follow-up training to bring RISHI’s Finding Meaning Groups to their colleagues or home institution may express their interest in the retreat application. After review of your application RISHI staff will contact you to discuss eligibility and next steps.

The fast growing epidemic of compassion fatigue during the professional life cycle of physicians and nurses has stimulated the search for etiology and the development of new approaches of prevention and recovery. Recent research suggests that the capacity to find personal meaning in your work is highly correlated with professional and personal resiliency and the experience of deep satisfaction in service work. Most residents, fellows, physicians, and nurses live far more meaningful lives than they realize. Experiencing the meaning already present in our daily work does not require us to change what we do but to see familiar things in new ways. Often it requires us to transcend our training and bring the perspective of the heart into the center of our professional work. Meaning is a function of the heart and not the mind. The heart is an organ of vision, a perspective that enables us to experience meaning even in the most routine aspects of our work and reignite our calling.

This 2-½ day retreat 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, Evangeline Andarsio, MD and Alyssa McManamon, MD will enable workshop participants to revisit their original calling, discover the personal meaning hidden in their daily routine and learn self-help methods to reclaim and sustain their passion for their profession. Come prepared to remember why you chose your work and recover the deep satisfaction of being a health professional.

RISHI‘s Tending The Flame retreat workshop for practicing clinicians and graduate program learners enables clinicians at all levels of training to develop an authentic and supportive professional community, take personal ownership of the meaning and values which are inherent in the lineage and practice of each health profession, refresh their calling and service intention and learn effective self-care tools to enhance resiliency in their professional and personal lives.

The Tending the Flame retreat workshop occurs over 2-1/2 days, provides an introduction to Finding Meaning Groups^TM and includes 14.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM.
