Deadline to Register: Oct. 22

Learning objectives & intended outcomes:
By constantly meeting the needs of others in your calling, you may lose sight of your own important needs. And this becomes a pattern… weeks become months and then years. Somewhere between when you began in ministry and now, the impact of giving at the expense of key needs being met becomes draining for your mind, body, and soul. Having key needs go unmet and for too long makes it more difficult for one to self-assess, discern what’s needed, and figure out what action to take. In essence, self-regulation and self-care feel elusive and… exhausting.
You’re not alone if you struggle with matching your food intake to what your body needs and what your heart and mind want. One of the easiest and most soothing things to reach for when we’re feeling depleted is food. You may have a long-standing struggle with food, weight, or health issues. Or you’re just starting to face some of these now. It becomes increasingly difficult to get to bed on time, feel rested, find time and energy for enjoyable physical activities, know what kind of down time is restorative, and moderate other options like caffeine, alcohol, and sweets.
What’s also true is that we can find healing and restoration through a new relationship with food and the experience of eating—choosing, preparing, and sharing it, and feeling truly nourished and nurtured by it. Because when you’re feeling spent and find replenishment elusive, knowing where and how to target your efforts can begin to make a difference in the experience of yourself, your relationships, and your calling. We’d love to have you join us.
