INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM

A Christ-centered way of living promotes a fulfilling life.  You are invited to explore human attitudes that build up or tear down our process towards well-being. With Scripture, Spirituality, and Psychology, we will pursue a journey of human development and spiritual enrichment to become attuned to our inner movements that may enhance or hinder our growth towards well-being. This is a three-part series. Participants may choose to attend all three or any one workshop.

Caught Up, Wrapped and Softened in His Gaze

Authentic Compassion: a Call to Mercy.
Is compassion inherited or learned?  What if compassion does not come easy to me? Can compassion grow? If you share these questions, follow Dr. Sally Riconscente through a fascinating presentation that will explore:
  1. How we are naturally wired for compassion;
  2. The process of compassion as it unfolds in response to suffering;
  3. How to choose to nurture and grow our God’s given instinct of compassion.
