RIDING THE DRAGON
Strengthening Your Inner Life in Challenging Times
November 4-6, 2011
Workshop directed by: Robert J. Wicks, PSY.D
One of the greatest gifts we can share with others is a sense of our own peace.
However, we can’t share what we don’t have. By discussing spiritual and
psychological approaches to maintaining perspective and inner strength in
challenging times, Dr. Wicks, an expert on the prevention of secondary stress
(the pressures experienced in reaching out to others), offers insights into how we
can live in peace and, in turn, extend our warmth to others without losing our own
inner fire in the process. Topics will include: “unlearning,” maintaining a sense of
perspective, ordinariness, chronic and acute secondary stress, developing a self-care
protocol, knowing the “voices” we need in our circle of friends to have balance and
courage in life, depth self-awareness, inner darkness, and improving mindfulness.
Practical, illustrative, lively, this rich presentation will provide essential information
on professional resilience and personal well-being.
