EMPOWERING SPIRITUAL CARERS

Spiritual Care continues to be a vital part of any organisation that cares for and about people. Chaplains and Spiritual Carers provide invaluable support and care for others, every day. We give of ourselves to provide holistic care for others. The work of Spiritual Carers is very often unrecognised, unsupported and frequently not acknowledged. This conference hopes to empower our amazing Spiritual Carers and sustain Soul Care.

We hope this conference will create new networks and strengthen existing ones, provide support and nourishment to those who are struggling in their roles, a space to reflect on the things that sustain, energise and keep us going in our work. We hope it will also be a great opportunity to explore new opportunities in the field of Spiritual Care and talk to others working in different areas of chaplaincy and spiritual care see how you might engage in the work of Spiritual Care in the future. It will be an opportunity to raise awareness of the vital work of Chaplains and Spiritual Carers and the work that we do.

If you’re working as a sole practitioner in the field of Chaplaincy/ Spiritual Care then this conference is especially for you. Come along, be refreshed, be empowered and be a part of an experience that will sustain our Soul Care

This is also an opportunity to engage with a range of people from Spiritual Care circles in the one room and have a chance to promote Chaplaincy in its various forms and contexts around Tasmania and be an opportunity to cross network and engage with people interested in Spiritual Care.

If you’re currently involved in Spiritual Care or would like to be, then register now!
