SUMMARY:The School of Earth & Soul–celtic Wisdom 3: Sacred Imagination
DESCRIPTION:In Celtic wisdom the sacred is as present on earth as it is in heaven\, as immanent as it is transcendent\, as human as it is divine\, as physical as it is spiritual.\n–John Philip Newell\, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul \nIn 2016\, John Philip Newell began a teaching initiative that is called The School of Earth & Soul. Its purpose is to reawaken awareness of the sacred in all things through the recovery of Celtic wisdom for today and to help translate this awareness into compassionate action. The school follows a three-year cycle of teaching in its annual retreats. Participants may join at any stage in the three-year cycle and attend any of the Earth & Soul venues across the country. \nIn July\, Emmanuel College’s Centre for Religion and Its Contexts is hosting the “Celtic Wisdom 3: Sacred Imagination” retreat\, where participants will be invited to reawaken to the sacredness of the human imagination and compassionate action through the teachings of Alexander John Scott\, George MacLeod and Kenneth White. \nThis commuter retreat includes both teaching and spiritual practice over three days. Each day begins and ends with meditative prayer and chant. John Philip teaches from the wisdom of Celtic prophets over the centuries\, applying this ancient wisdom to today’s most critical challenges. Cami Twilling invites us into spiritual practice bringing our inner attention to the presence of the sacred within us and within all things. In the early afternoon\, there is silence and free time for resting and walking. Our meals are shared in common and on the evening of the second day we have a party to celebrate our time together at the school. On the final morning before lunch\, we share together in a closing ritual of thanksgiving. Visit the following url for full schedule and details: uoft.me/CelticWisdom3

This workshop will be an opportunity to process and reflect on aspects of change\, loss\, and grief. We will sharpen our skills in creating space to attend to loss–our own and that of others. We will discover how tending to grief is prayer\, and allows Spirit to nurture us. This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to increase their competence and comfort level in this area\, personally and/or professionally. Through focused conversations\, personal reflection\, story-telling\, and small group sharing\, participants will engage in a life-giving experience. \nAbout the Workshop Leader\nAs adjunct faculty at Emmanuel College\, Rev. Dr. Anne Simmonds Emm 9T6 has taught courses in “Death Dying and Grieving” and “Prayer” in Emmanuel’s MDiv\, MPS\, continuing education and parish nursing programs. Simmonds is a voluntary associate minister at Rosedale United Church and spiritual mentor in Toronto. She is a gifted speaker and facilitator who draws on her extensive experience in teaching\, congregational ministry\, hospital chaplaincy\, nursing and her own grief. Simmonds was awarded the Emmanuel College Alumni/ae Association (ECAA) Distinguished Alumni/ae Award in 2018.

SUMMARY:Anthropology for Ministry
DESCRIPTION:From the “Things They Didn’t Teach Me in Seminary” Seminar Series at Emmanuel College\nFriday\, March 11\, 10 a.m.–12 p.m. EST\, Online\nWorkshop Leader: Susan Willhauck and Ken Chitwood \nMinisters are increasingly drawing on the world of anthropology to help them quickly discern what’s happening on the ground in their new ministry contexts. In this two-hour workshop\, we’ll hear from two leading experts in this field and work in small groups with them to do some training around how to use these tools in our own ministry. We will start in a large group to hear presentations from both presenters\, and then break into smaller groups to engage with their particular areas of expertise. \nSusan Willhauck is recently retired Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology at Atlantic School of Theology and co-author of Qualitative Research in Theological Education: Pedagogy in Practice. Participants in Susan’s breakout group will develop and rehearse a repertoire of ethnographic tools that will foster the kind of community theological collaboration that inspires prophetic leadership in the midst of social challenges (e.g.\, pandemic woes\, economic instability\, political contentiousness\, racial and ethnic injustice). \nKen Chitwood is the Fritz Thyssen Foundation Postdoctoral Researcher at the Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies\, Freie Universität Berlin and author of The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean. Participants in Ken’s breakout group will focus on how to expand their vision for how to use ethnographic practices in Christian ministry to include comparative theological efforts and interreligious encounters in a world ever more defined by the invitations and challenges of diversity and difference. \nFees: $15; Free for TST students\nDetails and Registration: https://uoft.me/cricevents/#ac-1247

SUMMARY:Exploring Satisfaction & Stress in Ministry: Personalized Insights to Cultivate Well-Being (Pathways for Wellness)
DESCRIPTION:Initial Workshop Date: Wednesday\, January 12\, 2022\, 7–9:30 p.m. EST\, Online \nFollow-Up Sessions: January 26\, February 23\, March 30\, April 27 (last Wednesday of each month\, 7–8:30 p.m. EST/EDT\, Online) \nThis course is for anyone working in a Christian vocational context who wants to explore how to protect the aspects of their ministry lives that nourish them and navigate the inevitable stressors along the way. It may be especially helpful to folks considering a job transition\, experiencing an unsustainable level of stress or fatigue\, or just getting started in ministry life. \nIn the initial workshop\, Beth Anne Fisher will give an overview of the Malcolm Inventory for Satisfaction and Stress in Ministry (MISSiM)\, a statistically valid and reliable questionnaire she helped developed alongside Dr. Wanda Malcolm at Wycliffe College. Participants will learn how they can use their own personal data from completing the MISSiM to reflect\, celebrate and assess their current ministry experiences. \nFollowing the introductory workshop\, Fisher will facilitate four monthly peer-group sessions of deeper MISSiM insight exploration and round-table conversation about satisfaction and stress in three areas of ministry life: Structural/Systemic\, Interpersonal/Relational\, and Internal/Personal. This pilot group at Emmanuel College will be limited to 12 participants. \nThis course requires one hour of advance prep time to complete the MISSiM prior to January 5\, 2022\, so that all participants can receive their personalized report before the first session. Cost is $200\, but if booked by December 18\, you can get an early-bird price of $150.  Upon registering and paying your registration fee\, a code and link to the questionnaire will be emailed to you.
