Live WEBINAR
Engaging the Healing Power Within
with Annette St-Amour, IHM, MA
[UPDATE: Click here for the webinar which is now on-demand.]
In this talk, Annette St-Amour, IHM, MA, will share her experience of working with local communities and healers in South Sudan in response to the trauma of displacement within their own country from many years of war. St-Amour will provide background on how stress, anxiety and trauma effect our brain, body and well-being. She will also offer some simple body-based practices for empowering ourselves and others in healing and well-being, enabling us to envision how we desire to be whole and to cope with anxiety and stressful situations.
This 90-minute webinar will consist of a presentation and an opportunity to engage with the presenter. You will be invited to offer your questions and comments by text to a moderator who will then bring them into conversation with the presenter. A recording will be available after the live presentation for all registered participants.

She served as a primary teacher and in catechetical and religious formation in parishes, dioceses, and nationally.
