Workshop description
Discerners come to us from vastly diverse family backgrounds and experiences that may impact vocation discernment. This workshop addresses family-of-origin issues to assist those who accompany and assess people discerning a call to religious life. Our presenters will facilitate participants in topics such as examining their biological family of origin and/or their family of adoption, and in learning how their family functions in relation to relationship/bonding, adaptability/structure, conflict, and response to change. The impact of the family of origin on prayer, community life, and spirituality will be explored. Participants will also discuss these learnings as they accompany discerners from diverse cultural backgrounds.
