Escaping Contempt: Weaving the Tapestry of Connection

Contempt is the enemy of connection. Through compassion and curiosity, we each have the opportunity to courageously and creatively weave a beautiful and meaningful shared narrative, both repairing and revitalizing the connections fundamental to the human journey.

 

Losing Face - Technology & Attachment

Our phones, computers, tablets, and smartwatches, often our primary means of connection, are, in actuality, creating more and more isolation. Connected with increased anxiety and depression, technology and devices are stealing time, happiness, and intimacy with those we love most. This seminar explores the neurological, attachment, and relational impacts of technology on the brain, family, and culture.

 

Counselor Supervision: A Theological & Philosophical Foundation

The counseling profession has long held faith and traditional philosophy in a mildly, if not outright, contemptuous place within the broader practice of psychotherapy. The lack of a robust metaphysical grounding has resulted in a decadent, unmoored cultural milieu, leading to disastrous effects on mental health and well-being. This seminar describes a theological and philosophical framework that emphasizes characterological growth over skills development.
