We are pleased to extend an invitation to attend our next Sacred Conversation: The Spirituality of Loneliness in Life's Second Chapter taking place this Friday, October 30, at 11 a.m. Covid-19 has revealed yet another epidemic among us: of loneliness and isolation. The challenges they present to mental health and spiritual well-being can be particularly difficult for those in the second chapter of life, including people of faith, and faith leaders. Yet too often, stigma and a misconception of the root causes of loneliness and isolation can leave those affected to suffer in silence. Please join the PHW team and Caleb Pusey, spiritually integrated psychotherapist with CareNet in Marion, NC, as he engages storytelling and evidence-based evaluation tools to provide a way forward for congregations to begin deep conversations around the source of loneliness and isolation in older adults -- most especially during the time of Covid -- to bring understanding, hope, and healing. Click the magenta button below to register. We encourage you to also watch this brief preview from our featured guest, Caleb Pusey, and read this short written piece by Karen Richardson Dunn, PHW Associate Director of Healthy Aging, that details the impacts of loneliness and social isolation in our communities. We look forward to sharing this time together. |
