How
does caring and compassion show up in the demanding and often
chaotic experience of day-to-day-practice?
I joined with Jan Boller, RN and twenty other registered nurses
at a community hospital in California for a sustained dialogue
on that question. Lasting two years and meeting over
twenty times, the conversations often emerged from the direct
experience of the nurse’s day. Telling stories,
discussing key principles of caring, and even taking a field
trip to walk the labyrinth with Lauren Artress at Grace Cathedral
in San Francisco, the dialogues helped reveal the inner landscape
of both caring and caretaker. Using principles of appreciative
inquiry, reflective practice, generative dialogue, and the
power of speaking in circle, the work was an affirmation that
when people are ill they need a team to care for them, and
so do caregivers need to be part of a group that cares together.
Daily Miracles was an outcome of these dialogues, demonstrating
through story, principles, and practices the power of human
encounter to heal and make whole. Joined with my original
photography, the book has a beauty and spaciousness that is
reflective of the book’s message and perfect for anyone
who wishes to experience relationship centered care as a lived
experience. |
