SoulCare with Clergy

Program Details

As you care for your congregation, who cares for you?
We at Rolling Ridge are here for you!

Research shows that experiencing prolonged challenges, persistent disruptions, endless stressors, disorientation, compassion fatigue, or emotional exhaustion over an extended length of time erodes our sense of well-being and limits our capacity to respond in positive, flexible and effective ways.And given the current cultural scene, we know that for clergy this gets compounded.

That is why we've launched a peer-group called "SoulCare with Clergy," an online monthly gathering with other clergy to experience mutual care, support, encouragement and insight through confidential sharing of personal stories, deep listening, and inspiring guided reflections.

"SoulCare with Clergy" meets once each month on the third Thursday from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. (eastern) and isfacilitated by Rolling Ridge Program Director, Rev. John Kiemele, PhD.

Please register by clicking the "REGISTER NOW" button at the top of the page. You will receive login information upon registering.

This monthly gathering is made possible because of the generous donations of those who believe in our mission. Please consider making a financial gift to the Ridge so that we can continue to create safe and sacred space that connects all people, God, and creation. Thank you for your support.
