Spiritual Distress: What it is and what we can do about it

Over the last twenty years, there has been increased recognition of the importance of addressing spiritual health in clinical practice, especially addressing spiritual distress. This talk will review guidelines and models for addressing spiritual care in clinical care.

This 90-minute webinar will consist of a presentation and an opportunity to engage with the presenter about your thoughts. You will be invited to offer your questions and comments by text to a moderator who will then bring them into conversation with the presenter. A recording will be available after the live presentation for all registered participants.

Karl Rahner, SJ, one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century, claimed that “the Christian of the future will either be a mystic or will cease to be anything at all.” What is mysticism and how does one become a mystic? In this retreat, we will look to the lives and writings of some of the great mystics in our tradition to see what wisdom they might offer us on our faith journey into the future. These include, among others, Teresa of Ávila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Francis of Assisi, Francis de Sales and Karl Rahner.
