Sacred Heart PTA Parenting Seminar

On Saturday February 3, I had the privilege of speaking at the PTA parenting seminar of Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu together with Mel and Cathy Po, Edric and Joy Mendoza and Jodi Sta Maria.

Foundations of Emotional Health Seminar

     Dr. Jiji Harner and her husband Rick have developed this seminar to address the need to integrate emotional health with our spiritual lives.  Many people hold to a faith that teaches to love God and love others.  However, we find ourselves struggling in our relationships with the people closest to us.  Why?  Because our emotions influence our decisions and actions in ways that are counterproductive to our relationships.  We will be looking at 6 principles of Emotional Health that cover such topics as:
  • Dealing with the pain and hurt of our past
  • What should we do with “negative” emotions like fear, grief and anger
  • Learning to listen attentively under stress
  • How can vulnerability help my relationships
  • Boundaries and how they work
  • How seeking approval can destroy my relationships
      This seminar is experiential and reflective.  You will be given time to journal and discuss your responses to the material presented and the activities.  It is ideal to come with a friend or spouse.  This seminar will take your relationships to a new level in knowing and understanding yourself and others. 

When:  3 Saturdays – February 18; March 4 & 18 9am-4:00 pm
Where:  Baptist Theological College, A.S. Fortuna, Mandaue

*The principles of this seminar come from the book Emotionally Healthy Church written by Pete Scazzero which received a Gold Medallion Award in 2003. The seminar has been adapted from the Emotionally Healthy Church seminar that Rick & Jiji have taught for church leaders over the past 10 years.  Rick & Jiji Harner are missionaries with New Life Fellowship (Queens, NY) serving in Cebu since 2006.
