The Healer’s Vocation: A Small Group for Christians in Health Care is designed to help clinical workers deepen their faith, find renewal in their vocation, build community, and develop practical wisdom—discovering practical habits and actions that can transform daily work, worship, and relationships. The Healer’s Vocation Facilitator Guide is a companion text to The Healer’s Vocation Participant Guide. Unique among facilitator support material, this facilitator guidebook is beautifully designed to “hold” and support the facilitator experience. Oriented in a landscape format, the pages of this facilitator guidebook literally surround and frame the participant material, such that the full participant guidebook is also included in the facilitator guidebook. Unlike other guidebooks, the participants and facilitator pages pair exactly for easy communication among leaders and participants.
Just as the participant guidebook is filled with rich resources for further study and practice, so too does this facilitator guidebook feature a wealth of additional material on gathering and hosting, including support for leading a poetry meditation or art meditation, lectio divina, and prayerful preparation. The Healer’s Vocation is designed to create a transformative experience for participants and facilitators alike.
