Image removed.This workshop is designed for anyone interested in continuing to develop pastoral counseling skills. The emphasis will be on a counseling model to help participants “Become a Healing Presence,” beginning with one’s own inner healing. The counseling model to be taught pivots on “active listening as love delivered," that is, giving others strength and hope. The referent point of the workshop is Jesus Christ as our Healer who wants us to be His humanity on earth, His healing presence to others.

The interactive workshop will explore ways to empower participants to go beyond themselves, to transcend themselves, and in so doing, to transform others. “Healing” refers to psychological and spiritual healing; physical healing is beyond the scope of the short workshop.

Workshop leaders are Dr. Albert S. Rossi, Adjunct Professor of Pastoral Theology at the seminary and licensed clinical psychologist in the state of New York; and Priest David Mezynski, Associate Dean for Student Affairs at St. Vladimir’s Seminary.
