NURTURING THE NURSE: A Health & Healing Retreat — Personal to Global

3-Day Workshop September 10-12, 2012 (Mon-Wed)

Co-sponsored by Nightingale Initiative for Global Health, Earthrose Institute and the Northwest Center for Nurse Renewal at Harmony Hill.

Nurses increasingly confront major challenges in their workplaces. Many feel burned-out from ongoing stress on the job, disconnected from the roots of nursing as a healing art. This 3-Day Workshop offers a unique opportunity to experience a healing environment to nurture ourselves, reduce stress and promote resilience and renewal. We will explore innovative holistic nursing practices to facilitate healing and nurture mind, body, spirit. We will reconnect to the meaning and purpose of our profession and with our nursing community - local to global.

This year’s program has an expanded agenda, going deeper into the material and providing more time for reflection and renewal. Variable avenues to earn up to 16 CNE credits depending upon participation
