CEPD Offers CE’s for Social Workers and Nurses

Posted on by

GRCC’s Continuing Education and Professional Development department has an upcoming offering for social workers and nurses:  Restoring Hope in the Midst of Suffering on March 9, 2010 (6-9 pm).  This workshop enables participants to discover new meaning and inner healing potential amidst experiences of illness, pain or suffering.

Suffering is triggered by our body-mind-spirit’s endeavors to signal an increasingly blocked process of inner healing and wholeness. Accompanied by a growing loss of meaning and control and feelings of hopelessness, suffering now becomes a personal crisis of existential proportions.  Inner Relationship Focusing offers a gentle, experiential process of body/mind/spirit awareness, presence and listening that helps awaken our inner healer.  For more info or to register go to grcclearn.com
