Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi danielle and all, It is interesting that you also mention spiritual care volunteers.... I have been very drawn to a particular spiritual care area and I was prompted to find out more about a project of RIGPA called the spiritual care education programme... I attended an introduction day on Sunday and I am seriously considering joining a study group and attending workshops come september. I need to check it out a bit more first but what was said on sunday resonates very much with me. I am not sure if this prompting is for my own education and learning alone or if it is to bring me into a new area of volunteering... time will tell and shakti of course...lol! I would be grateful if anyone here who knows about this particular programme could share a little of their experience of it... love julia , " iamwaitingmoon " <iamwaitingmoon wrote: > > Hospitals and care units offer many great volunteer opportunities.

It's a great way to share time with your furry companion and to be of service to others. > > This may interest some as well...

Then it occured to me...Now that I know about this service and how lovely it would also be for the hugger, why not go and check out if it could be introduced here where I live... and so I intend to check it out next week. > > > > love julia > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
