Spiritual Journeys

A Ready-to-Run Personal Growth Workshop

Many of our customers have asked us for help with workshops on specific topics. We have assembled a group of ten ready-to-run topics from the materials in our seminal Structured Exercises in Stress Management and Structured Exercises in Wellness Promotion. Each has everything you need to present a successful, topic-focused, three-hour workshop, including mini-lectures, handouts, and group activities. Don’t have three hours? We have included suggestions on how to cut the workshop back to an hour.

• Spiritual Journeys will help you prepare quickly and efficiently for presentations on spirituality. The multi-part session is flexible so that you can select the activities most appropriate for your group. They include:
• Spiritual Fingerprint is a playful, right-brain exercise where participants create an artwork that symbolizes their spirituality and then reflect upon ways to nourish their spirit. (60 minutes)
• Spiritual Pilgrimage creates a lifeline drawing that allows participants to trace their spiritual journey, noting those experiences, attitudes, and revelations that contribute to their well-being and identifying areas for future growth. (20-30 minutes)
• Caring Appraisal encourages participants to analyze the quality of their self-care habits (body, mind, spirit, relationships) and their other-care commitments (family, spouse, neighbors, creation). (45-60 minutes)
• That’s the Spirit! Presents a simple checklist to assess current spiritual self-care habits and then review a menu of spirit-related energizers for enhancing health. (10-15 minutes)
• Breath Prayer allows participants to tap into their inner healing resources in a relaxing, rhythmic, affirmation meditation. (8-10 minutes)

All these activities are complete with variations to adapt to your specific group or time frame. Each includes a full list of materials needed and suggestions to make your workshop run smoothly and professionally.
