Past Programs with Peter Fritsch
Dreams: How God Speaks to Us Through the Wisdom of the Dream
Sunday January 23, 2022 and Sunday January 30, 2022 - 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Westerners have been raised to believe for the past few centuries that dreams have nothing to do with truth or with their spiritual life. However, early Christian literature bears witness to the spiritual importance of dreams, and in the 20th century the work of Carl Jung has reclaimed for dreams their rightful place in contemporary spirituality. In this workshop, participants will be led to explore the symbolism of their own dreams as a path to a surprising depth of healing.

The Shadow: What it is, and How We Can Assess the Energy of It in Ownership
Sunday February 20, 2022 and Sunday February 27, 2022 - 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
The Jungian concept of Shadow has a wide foundation in traditional Christian theology and biblical psychology. There is a challenge knowing what aspects of a person are simply unconscious aspects of the self that one calls shadow, from known destructive aspects of the unconscious that need to be recognized and cut off. Two sessions of three hours each of teaching and interactive dialogue will help unpack this content.

Christian Healing Prayer: How to Pray with Quiet Confidence for More Effective Healing Sunday March 20, 2022 and Sunday March 27, 2022 - 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
This program shared with participants how to pray effectively with family members, friends, and church members with information gathered from church history, where healing prayer flourished. The first session discussed how the early Christian church practiced and experience healing prayer on a widespread and continual basis, and how and why this tradition of unction and prayer changed and was eventually formalized into being used for the safe passage of the soul at death only, what we know as Last Rites. The second through fourth sessions discussed the role of faith, touch, intuition, words, the difference between petition and imperative prayer, and how prayer, medicine, psychology, common sense work together to bring God’s healing to those in need. |
