Music As a Catalyst for Pastoral Care

Through all civilizations, cultures and religions, music has sparked spiritual care. Examples span from joy to grief; ritual to relationship; memories to new meanings; and intimate, spontaneous moments to sensitively planned community ceremonies. The music is simply a catalyst. The heart of the art is about pastorally caring for the person and community. Participants will explore universal uses of music, with crucial "dialectic" CORE Principles and HEALing Techniques to apply within one's professional settings and role. This webinar draws from extensive research and clinical practice in pastoral care, contemporary loss/grief theory, music therapy, history and self-reflection tools.
