SUMMARY:iTHIRST Spiritual Companionship Training
DESCRIPTION:Tues & Thurs Evening Online Classes \n6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. \nThe iTHIRST online training seeks to provide this spiritual remedy to those suffering from addiction through the development and implementation of programs designed to educate and prevent\, to provide support to treatment facilities and those incarcerated\, and to develop an aftercare community for the afflicted and their families. \nThe iTHIRST training will be taught by Keaton Douglas\, founder of the iTHIRST initiative\, which is an acronym for “The Healing Initiative—Recovery\, Spirituality\, and Twelve Steps.” The initiative seeks to give people in recovery the spiritual tools they need to stay clean and lead the faith-based fight against substance-use disorders\, especially opioid addiction. It also educates the clergy and laity about substance abuse disorders so that the Church might be a resource for the afflicted and their families. \nCurriculum \n\nSection 1 – The Journey from Love\, Grace and Freedom to Fear and Enslavement\nSection 2 – Mind\, Body and Spirit\nSection 3 – Loving Through Pain\nSection 4 – Finding the Road to Hope\nSection 5 – Healing through the Twelve Steps\nSection 6 – Grace and Healing

SUMMARY:Community of Hope & Healing: iTHIRST's Bereavement Ministry\, Meeting 2nd Tues. of Month
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Virtual Meetings  \nSecond Tuesday of the Month  \n7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time \nJoin: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81314354460?pwd=2F7tgVbCwKwMiQJKxZmzfGHZgoOX53.1 \nMISSION: This ministry derives from the need to bring those who have lost a loved one to addiction together for fellowship and spiritual consolation. We grieve not only the loss of our loved one but also the fraught experience of that beloved’s time of addiction. Whether it involvesa substance or a behavior\, the afflicted are often misunderstood\, marginalized\, and stigmatized. \nWhen we grieve their loss\, we often carry the pain of this with us after they have gone. We know that we benefit from sharing our unique experience and learning to see it from a spiritual perspective. We invite anyone who is grieving this kind of loss to join us for these monthly virtual meetings every second Tuesday of the month from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm Eastern Time. \n  \nBereavement Team:\nMelinda Papaccio\nLaurel Plumage\nLynn Tidgwell
