Summer Institute 4-Day Program:
BUILDING BRIDGES: COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTION NEAR DEATH
Pierre Morin, MD; Ingrid Rose, PhD; Stan Tomandl, MA, Ann Jacob; B.Ed
July 5 – 8, 2011 ~ 10am-5pm
As caregivers we have the chance of connecting with people who are
differently responsive, by following verbal and nonverbal minimal
cues, and being cognizant of our own inner spiritual states. We can
help facilitate people, families, and medical systems around
processes at end of life, coma, dementia, delirium, vegetative state,
and memory loss. By using minimal cues and deeply positive attitudes,
we can to enhance relationship with our loved ones, family members,
and patients. Our heartful presence helps relieve guilt and grief,
and gives the gift of greater engagement and meaning, during the
poignant moments found in profound and joyful stages of our living
and dying.
Learn practical tools to engage with the shifting of palliative care
from focusing primarily on the body to caring for the whole person -
spirit, mind, and body. This shift offers hope and advocacy for a new
ethical sensitivity, which recognizes meaningful processes throughout
out-of-the-ordinary experience. This course addresses issues relevant
to working with patients, families, caregivers, and the medical
systems involved in patient care.

How do process oriented conflict facilitators operate when
we are not designated facilitators in: work situations,
community meetings, and in family gatherings? We will
discuss the lessons we’ve learned the hard way and from

metaskills; and how to act without attracting blame or
taking credit for facilitating hotspots and resolution.
