Description:
The November 2023 retreat will focus on Identity. What is identity? How does it develop? What is it that creates a sense of self? Is identity defined? Determined? By what? By who? When? How? How do I help those who come to me with their identity shattered, fragmented, or confused? Our society seems to be groping around in the dark as loses a solid sense of what identity is. Our 2023 annual retreat for clinicians, counselors, and pastors will examine these questions through the lens of psychology, neuroscience, and theology. Dr. Manock and the ICI team will take you on a research deep dive into the theology and science of what it means to be human, helping you gain a clearer sense of how to walk alongside those you counsel and teach.
Our retreats are an amazing bonding and growing experience centered on good teaching, good fellowship, good conversation, and good food. Meals are prepared by teams, rooms are shared, coffee abounds, and late night conversations and games are bound to take place. We deeply value the unique opportunity to bring together the two most prominant emotional healing professions: clinicians and pastors/pastoral counselors. Both groups have much to learn from the other and as we get to know each other we discover colleagues, find allies, and make friends.
The retreat begins late Friday afternoon and runs through late morning on Sunday.
