(Audio) The Introduction at Risking Connection In Faith Communities--Glendale United Methodist Church, for Sidran Institute, June 2007. Risking Connection (RC) is a Sidran Institute program that helps people develop growth-promoting relationships with survivors of overwhelming events--trauma. RC addresses the universality of trauma, how it impacts people, addresses a simple model for relating to others that fosters recovery and helps people who know trauma survivors care for themselves more effectively. Presented with humor, compassion, and compelling presence, this program provides an overview of RC for faith communities in the Abrahamic traditions. As with the others, single microphone, unedited.
(Audio) From "Living Out of Love"--Unity Center for Positive Healing, Old Hickory, TN, October 2007. Does it mean living "from a place of love" or does it mean "living separated from live?" How do we dance with both of these positions, one feared, one hoped for? In this funny, intimate message, Elizabeth explores both. A "Wow" with the audience! Thought-provoking, and spoken from her own life as well as her work with others. This was the morning message preceding a two-hour workshop. Single-microphone, sationary, unedited.
