Coaching and Support
It is easier to sustain your momentum if you enlist the help of others who can provide both encouragement and a sense of accountability. Spirited Life builds those support mechanisms into the program, making lasting change more likely.
Wellness Advocate
At the core of the Spirited Life program are a group of highly trained wellness advocates, one of whom will serve as your coach, advocate, and source of support and resources throughout your two years of wellness services.
Your wellness advocate can help you:
- Navigate the Spirited Life program and stay on track
- Set health goals and serve as an accountability partner
- Find a physician, whether you have recently changed appointments or have been in your current area for years
- Make sense of your health data and direct you to additional care resources
- Practice skills learned through Spirited Life
- Locate information on helping your congregants become more healthy
- Learn how to identify sources of support to sustain you after Spirited Life's wellness services conclude
Small Groups
It helps to have people to talk to. And given the demands and pressures facing clergy, we know that it can be difficult to find other pastors to serve as a sounding board.
Spirited Life offers that opportunity.
At the initial three-day Spirited Life workshop that launches each group's two years of wellness services, you will divide into small groups for in-depth discussion and reflection. You are invited to correspond and connect in whatever manner suits the group, both during the program and beyond.
Program-Specific Coaching
The stress management and mindful eating components of Spirited Life incorporate coaching and booster sessions to promote accountability and lasting change.
