Prescriptions for Life
Those dealing with difficult transitions or life situations often experience helplessness, despair, loneliness, and more. Studies have shown that those coping with challenging situations over long periods of time suffer from anxiety and depression, have depressed immune systems, and are more likely to feel weak and ill.
We invested significant time and effort in thinking of how to improve the welfare of people dealing with chronic illnesses, aging, and stressful transitions such as birth, adolescence, and so on, and have developed a unique model that, once taught, must be practiced regularly.
We hope to see this model disseminated throughout the country, giving many people the option to experience it, and in that way to build communities of people versed in its practice.
An innovative program in which people come together in small groups to share, support, and inspire each other
In the Prescriptions for Life program small groups meet for a total of eight sessions in which they learn how to call on spiritual resources to empower their sense of capability, inner strength, and creativity.
Participants are invited on a creative journey of connection to their inner sources of strength and spirituality. The program calls on participants to take leadership roles in their own lives, and to act with courage, responsibility, and inspiration particularly during times of illness, pain, and distress, when they are often overcome by feelings of loneliness and helplessness.
What’s included?
Introduction to and practice of the techniques and tools of the model, including:
Mindfulness
