The All Saints' Episcopal Church in Atlanta has invited participants in an opportunity for spiritual practice and self-care for resettlement volunteers.
In a Facebook post, the All Saints' Episcopal Church expressed gratitude to Dr. Sue Beck in Colorado for providing an opportunity for volunteers who work with former refugees to learn about self-care.
The church said Dr. Beck is a retired Episcopal deacon with a Ph.D. in Psychology and an MDiv who has years of experience assisting people working with trauma survivors, specifically those who saw others' terrible losses and sufferings.
According to the post, Dr. Beck will lead through spiritual practices to help the participants find peace inside themselves. They will also find relief for the worries in the Divine, allowing them to be even more effective companions on the path for individuals who have experienced horrific losses.
The session will be held on Sunday, Oct. 24, the church wrote on its post.
Another session will also be held on Sunday, Nov. 7, it added.
Those interested are encouraged to sign up for reserve slots to receive the Zoom link.
