Cranaleith Communities of Practice™ for Chaplains
REDISCOVERING YOUR WELL OF SPIRITUAL WISDOM
with Jack Geracci & Bernadette Rudolph
I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.

Each day of ministry as a chaplain involves more to do than the time allotted. There is little opportunity to process what has just happened and recenter oneself. What’s more, American culture’s shift to corporate values and fiscal demands makes the “chaplain” position increasingly tentative. Experiences with care seekers combined with workplace struggles can be disorienting spiritually and theologically.
Yet, there is a way back to the spiritual wisdom that filled your heart when you began your chaplaincy – and that remains with you today. Jack and Bernadette will offer participants reflective time to rediscover core values and touchstones of inspiration. You will also reflect on experiences that may have challenged your belief system and on complex situations that called for an evolution of your thinking. The wisdom is in you already, in your peers and in your communities, whether secular or religious. Enjoy a day of rediscovery.
Give yourself a day of rest and contemplative practice, a day in community with other chaplains who understand what you have experienced. Tools we may use include conversation, quiet reflection, art, music, poetry and song.
All are welcome! This program has wisdom expressed in all spiritual traditions.
