Past Events
Compassionate Presence & Sacred Encounters with Chaplain Bruce Feldstein, MD, BCC
On Sunday, May 1, 2022, we explored with Chaplain Bruce Feldstein MD, BCC an approach to the Jewish mitzvah of visiting the sick, Bikkur Cholim, as an “architecture in time.”
This workshop provided practical guidance for connecting with and accompanying people in a way that allows for compassionate presence and sacred encounters. Bruce’s teaching is applicable to supporting any person experiencing illness or grief, or other difficulties of spirit or body, really to any human interaction.
