Emotionally Healthy Spirituality is based on the premise that emotional health and spiritual health are inseparable and that many of us get stuck spiritually because we haven't done the hard work of becoming emotionally healthy. This one-day In Person course is based on Peter Scazzero's book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and will include insights from Bowen Family Systems theory. The course will be taught by Rev. David Conley -Southeast District.  

This class will be held Saturday, January 28 at First UMC (Festus) from 9:00 - 4:30 PM
