March 14 – 17, 2023
Staybridge Suites, McLean, VA
The Voyagers will return to “home base” for our spring meeting in 2023. The plan is to be “in person” for this meeting. (If there is interest in an online option, we can make that happen. Contact Carol, please.)
Speakers and presentations for our meeting include The Rev. Dr. Randy Frost, the Director of the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family, David Goodine on the biological basis of emotional process, Ed Henley with a continued look at Christian Nationalism through a systems lens, and Carol Jeunnette with a systems consideration of clergy sexual misconduct. We also will continue the discussion begun in Albuquerque (with Kathy Wiseman) on the intertwined branches of clergy and Bowen Theory. As usual, there will be Family of Origin groups (including an online group if needed), the opportunity for case studies, and look at the upcoming lectionary through a systems lens.
Registration is $300.
