Based on feedback from the network, and in lieu of our typical in-person CED Summit, we are pleased to launch the 2020 CED Fall Webinar Series: Holistic Solutions to Crisis: Exploring the 4 Domains. As the effects of COVID-19 continue, the challenges faced by our network evolve. In this series, hear from other practitioners about lessons learned and holistic strategies to address the challenges of our rapidly-changing world. We hosted a kick-off session on September 1 which is being followed by four webinars on each of the domains or relationships of flourishing: Material/Creation, Spiritual/God, Social/Relational, and Personal/Self. Join our email list to stay updated on upcoming webinars. |
