Presentation Description
Hope is more than a feeling, it is a sense of future self. Being able to visualize what can be is a critical component of getting there. Yet through the last several years it has become difficult increasingly difficult to hope.
How do we visualize what we can be – what our work can be – what our community can be – when we are having trouble just surviving today?
“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet...We burn out not because we don’t care but because we don’t grieve. We burn out because we’ve allowed our hearts to become so filled with loss that we have no room left to care.” -Ramen, MD., R. N. Kitchen Table Wisdom (2006)
This plenary will focus on finding hope and resilience after loss.
Dr. Brené Brown reminds us that change most often comes from ordinary acts of courage, and not monumental events.
What are some acts of courage that can help us reset, recover and move forward as individuals, teams and communities?
