Presentations.

Lectures, Retreats, Workshops, Pastoral Counseling, Spiritual Direction, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator-based Premarital & Marital Counseling, & other offerings...

Possibilities:

A good presentation is one on the various styles of meditation, with examples and suggestions for expanding one's techniques. For Churches that are particularly concerned with Scripture, this is well titled, "Four Key Methods for Understanding Scripture."

An excellent retreat for couples about to be married can easily be presented using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and a resourcebook from which I copy pages that deal with the strengths and challenges of various type combinations, such as an introvert marrying an extravert or another introvert, etc., on down the line. This is an eyeopener for couples and frequently used as a pre-marital retreat for all the couples due to be married in the next few months. It is also a valuable resource to be used with couples having difficulties in their marriage or at least an enrichment for already-married couples.

The other subjects listed at the left as links, such as Centering Prayer and Spiritual Health, also lend themselves well to retreats or single lectures or as a series, say, for Lent.

By far the most popular of my presentations is the one on journaling and dreamwork. Part of the design is to teach a couple of hours on Friday evening followed by 5 hours' instruction on Saturday. This leaves time for discussion and interaction as well as allowing a few tips on Friday night as to how to "honor your dreams" and perhaps capture one overnight Friday if someone does not usually remember their dreams.
