As servant leaders connected to various ministries\, our personal and professional lives have been turned upside down. We’ve all been working overtime and in innovative ways to care for those we serve. As we begin to emerge from more than two years of varying levels of isolation\, it’s time to pause\, reset\, and reconnect! As we move forward\, let’s not leave the spiritual discipline of solitude behind\, but rather\, let’s learn how to embrace spiritual introspection as a way to grow a deeper spiritual community. \nHave you ever considered the benefits of a workout for your faith? Deepening our connection with our faith requires a plan\, the right mindset\, and practice – just like exercise. Whether our spiritual practice and routines involve a walk\, meditation\, or prayer\, mindfulness techniques can be applied to help us grow in our ability to be more present with God and others. \n\nTake Home Tool Box for Your Ministry Education and Outreach \n\nPractical examples/exercises – including mindfulness resources and techniques – to help your faith community find meaningful solitude\, inner peace\, and community connection\nMental health practices to help regulate emotions and decrease stress\, anxiety\, and depression\nEducational resources identifying the medical & scientific connections to the mind/body/spirit\n\nKeynote Speakers \nPadma Fanning is the Clinical Mindfulness Instructor for St Luke’s University Health Network. She has studied and practiced mindfulness and meditation for 37 years. She is a certified Breathworks Mindfulness-Based Pain Management instructor and a qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction instructor.   \n\nLu Mauro\, M.Ed.\, CPRP\, is a Professional Development Specialist at St. Luke’s Penn Foundation and the former director of SLPF’s Wellspring Clubhouse.
