Admission

  • $30.00

Summary

A Religion, Mental Health, and the Search for Meaning Conference | Gregory Han and Jane Clapp | Friday, Apr 17 | 9a - 12p CT | Potentially appropriate for 3 CEs | Explore the intersection between self-formation and meaning, especially in moments when challenges to our mental health also challenge our sense of self.

Description

In this half-day conference, we’ll explore how we come to understand who we are and how we find meaning in our lives—especially during times of change or uncertainty. We’ll reflect on how modern society shapes our sense of self, examine practical approaches to care as tools for rethinking these influences, and consider how we can actively shape our lives through reflection and practice. The conference invites participants to see care of the self as an ongoing, meaningful process that connects personal growth with care for others.


Gregory Han is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Religion at Rice University. Greg earned a BA in American Studies from Georgetown University and a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School. An ordained Presbyterian (PCUSA) minister, Greg has experience in hospital chaplaincy and in congregational ministry. He also has teaching experience at the secondary school level and the college level, with classes taught at Rice University, the University of Houston Honors College, and Austin Seminary. His doctoral work focuses on investigating pastoral and spiritual care models in hospital chaplaincy as a means of understanding patient care and patient formation. He is committed to exploring new models and modes across medical disciplines that can foster new ways that care ethics can support patients and caregivers.

 

Jane Clapp is a Jungian Analyst, somatic expert, and educator who has spent decades exploring the profound relationship between the body, psyche, and soul. She is the creator of Jungian Somatics™, a unique practice that weaves together movement, sensation, and the unconscious to cultivate a deep, lived experience of aliveness. Her path has always been rooted in embodied transformation. Jungian Somatics™ is not a modality of fixing but one of remembering—awakening what has been dormant and reclaiming the soul’s movement. At the heart of her work is the call to live in Mystical Aliveness.

*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers. The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency. The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.
