Designed to address the special needs of and provide support to
healthcare professionals and caregivers but also open to anyone
seeking to increase a sense of balance and manage stress, this
workshop will focus on strategies to combat compassion fatigue and
burnout.
Through art, movement, poetry and writing we will explore ways that we
can renew our passion for our professional work and create and
maintain congruency between our professional and our personal lives.
We will increase a sense of balance and connection between those two
worlds by bringing our attention to ways that we observe and respond
to internal and external experiences.
Previous art experience is not needed in order to benefit from this
arts, healing, and creativity program. The workshop is designed for
all ranges of artistic experience--you need not consider yourself an
artist to attend.
Objectives 1) Attendees will be able to list three characteristics of

Objectives 2) Attendees will be able to list three strategies for
