HELP FOR HELPERS is an online weekly gathering that was originally created as a response to the overwhelming stresses of pandemic life, especially for those in the helping professions. It developed into a flourishing, ever-growing wellspring of learning and connectedness.
WE ARE:
1. INTERNATIONAL, INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING
We prize the contributions of all those who attend.
2. FREE!
All the organizing and facilitating is donated.
3. COMMUNITY-ORIENTED
We are developing and expanding our project together.
4. DIVERSE
We encourage varied points of view and approaches woven together with respect, openness, and embodied listening.
5. ENRICHING
Each week, we have a reflection drawn from a wide variety of speakers and a broad spectrum of approaches (meditative, academic, personal, social/political, therapeutic) given by experienced teachers and those presenting their ideas for the first time.
6. PARTICIPATORY
‘The group focuses on and responds spontaneously to what is offered in the reflection. Focusing conversations are facilitated by the large group discussion and small breakout-room sharing.’
