Field Guide for Aspiring Chaplains

In partnership with the Carpenter Foundation and Fetzer Institute, the Lab is pleased to offer a series in the spring of 2022 for those considering a career in spiritual care.

The Field Guide series is intended to offer a basic introduction to the profession of chaplaincy, from education and training through to practice. Each session includes an in-depth conversation with spiritual care practitioners on topics of key importance to those considering careers in chaplaincy; there are also opportunities for small-group discussion afterward (not recorded). You can view recordings from previous sessions below. Those interested in our Field Guide series should also download our free eBook Beginner’s Guide to Spiritual Care, now available here.

The Field Guide series is offered at no cost. As we want to keep these conversations as dynamic as possible, we will use a simple Zoom room for these events. You may register for the Field Guide series here.
