Wonderful Sacred Space Conference
Just finished a wonderful weekend at the 2011 Sacred Space Conference. Â I’d like to thank Caroline Kenner for asking me to submit classes as well as the whole host of other event planners.
I presented a class on healer ethics — which was a very broad class concerning common ethical considerations across a wide variety of healing professions from the more medical (professional counseling, acupuncture) to the alternative (Tarot readers, energy healers, etc.). We had a small but very enthusiastic group and the class about ran itself with all the examples and questions. I was very pleased with how it went.
I also presented a very well attended class on trauma spectrum disorders with the goal of educating group leaders about what different disorders entail, how to spot them, and possible effects on their spiritual groups. Another good discussion.
The conference was fantastic — I got to go to several sessions from other presenters I really enjoyed.
I missed Jonathan White’s class on “Ceremonial and Counseling Work with Anger” which combined Pagan ceremonial methods for working on anger with counseling. Likely was a good class — his always are.
I’m happy to see several classes on mental health popping up at Pagan spiritual conferences and even happier at being invited to help teach them.
