Session 5: The Resilience of Family in Film: Epics of Love, Loss, and Recovery (July 31-Aug 4)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 31, 2017 to August 4, 2017

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”– Helen Keller

This seminar focuses on the role of the family in teaching how resilience develops over a lifetime and across generations.  Mindfully watching the way families express love, endure loss, and locate their own resilience helps us see how we and our patients may face life’s inevitable challenges.  One film is shown each day with an introduction and centering process to begin and processing after the film focusing on the participant's own experience of the movie including silent reflection, journaling, dyadic sharing, and group discussion.  Optional, non-CME Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions are offered in which an additional film is shown and processed.  Tuesday night will feature “The River,” and Thursday night “Babette’s Feast.”  The films are presented through Blu-ray video projection and six loudspeakers.  Movies take on an exquisite cumulative power when shown over five days at the DCSI in a group setting that is truly remarkable and unforgettable.
