Care for the Journey: Sustaining the Heart of Healthcare, is a new educational initiative strategically designed to respond to the demands and stresses on the healthcare professional of the 21st Century.  Our programs and resources rekindle the spiritual and emotional dimension of the professional healthcare provider.  Participants explore the acceptance of human limitations in medicine as a gateway to deepen and sustain the human connection in healing.

Imagine the wisdom of Christiane Northrup, MD, Rachel Naomi Remen, MD,  Joan Borysenko, PhD, Angeles Arrien, PhD, Ira Byock, MD,  Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and other leading experts in medicine, spirituality and psychology,  facilitating experiential learning. These inspiring perspectives invite practitioners to explore their inner resources and develop greater capacity to sustain their role as a healer.

"This work is a spiritual practice. When we touch another person physically, we're touching more than just their body. We're touching their mind, we're touching their heart, we're touching their very soul."

Excerpt: Care for the Journey Audio Resource

Care for the Journey supports the personal and professional lives of nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, clinicians and administrators, staff and volunteers from hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices, and medical and nursing students.

The Care for the Journey Audio Resource is a CD of spoken messages from leaders in compassionate care supported by original scored music as a teaching tool to enrich the experience. Developed by the creators of Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying, a leading palliative care resource, the audio resource helps to strengthen skills and capacity for emotional presence, relational medicine, and healing dialogue.  The role and impact of grief and loss, communication skills, and self-care practices are explored.

An Educators Guide (in development) will offer complete transcripts of the audio messages, experiential applications by theme and topic, sample facilitated exercises, and additional resources to support existing programs, training, and curriculum within healthcare organizations.
