Bend Without Breaking

Spiritual Practices for Building Resilience

"The relentless onslaught of cruelty, pain, and suffering has left us physically tired, emotionally drained, and spiritually exhausted." —Student & Justice Worker

"Bend without Breaking" is a free, 2-hour workshop offering tools to build resilience in turbulent times. Both scientific research and contemplative experience suggest that stability (groundedness) and flexibility (plasticity) can be learned and nurtured. We will explore scripture, research and our own lived experience around building resilience. And we will engage cognitive and contemplative practices that will cultivate stability and flexibility for the journey ahead.

Your workshop leaders, Rev. Dale Suggs (MDiv) and Shelly Suggs (MA-Spiritual Formation), are the co-founders of BELOVED Way (DOC) and BELOVED Compassion Network. They bring decades of spiritual direction, spiritual formation, and contemplative practice education.

This workshop is Co-Sponsored by Disciple Seminary Foundation and BELOVED Compassion Network. Registration is free, but an opportunity to make a donation to support our work will be made available.
