Unmasking Grief: A Safe Harbor for Pastoral Healing
In the calling of pastoral care, navigating personal grief while simultaneously being a beacon of strength for your congregation and family can feel like an insurmountable challenge. "Unmasking Grief: A Safe Harbor for Pastoral Healing" is a six-session affinity group designed with you, the pastor, in mind. This course invites you to step into a narrative of transformation and resilience.
In this affinity group, you're not just a pastor, but a 'Hero' embarking on a crucial journey of personal growth and healing. Your problem: unprocessed grief, perhaps masked behind the strong front you present to your congregation and family. You bear the burdens of others, but who bears yours? Your solution: find a way to process this information among trusted peers who meet regularly, where each member of the group is 100% committed to the success of every other member in the group. You will find this within this affinity group.
Each session will run for 90 minutes. In the first 30 minutes, you will be introduced to a new concept to think about. In the next 60 minutes, you will have an opportunity to share your grief and receive support from the coach and the rest of the group.
In the following six sessions, we will focus on your journey of Transformation:
Acknowledging your Grief, Identifying the Guide, Understanding Challenges, Sharing the Burden, Crafting the Plan, and Envisioning Victory & Transformation.
