SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:
As a person called to a life of faith and service, Day of Birth, LLC is committed to equipping you so that you may help those you serve make meaning out of life events and process through its transitions, as well as cope with its potentially lasting effects. This training seminar will include plenaries, personal survivor vignettes, and small group discussions that will cover an array of topics such as:

What is Pastoral Care? The Nature + Effects of Trauma Understanding a Pastor’s Role as First Responder Trauma + Worship as an Agent of Healing Understanding the Tremors of Trauma in: Chronic + Terminal Illnesses Domestic Violence Marriage + Relationships Ministry: Asking + Accepting Accountability

This is not a church service. It will be informal, yet informative; unique and unlike any other religious affiliated event you have attended. It will be a time to speak to you not only as a pastor and/or church leader, but as a person. We will dissect real and relevant issues that confront us and those we serve on a daily basis. It will be a place created for you to reflect on yourself and the reorientation of the ministry that God has called you to. It will be an opportunity for you to meet and dialogue with others who are committed to provide their best service through care for God's people.

RETREAT DESCRIPTION:

Every woman is born with a seed of purpose that is destined to make a significant contribution to this world. All she needs is a space to birth it, a place to nurture it, the inspiration to achieve it and the tools to experience it.

This day-long healing intensive retreat speaks to every woman who has doubted her own significance; who has a dream she had to defer or a passion she had to push aside because of the rush of life or the crushing of circumstances did not afford her the opportunity to pursue it. Through this event, we envision women walking away better informed of what their purpose is, inspired to pursue it, equipped to nurture it and empowered to move in the direction of their dreams.

Do you desire to live life intentionally, fearlessly and significantly?"PREGNANT WITH A PURPOSE" will serve as fertile ground to leverage that kind of inspiration. Come expecting...
