Soothing and Centering


Susanne and Maureen Shelton presented on healing music and mandalas at a conference entitled, "The Agony of Caring: Professionalism and Moral Distress in Healthcare," sponsored by Emory University Center for Ethics, Atlanta, Georgia. Maureen taught two of her original songs (hear more at http://www.mandalacd.com/), and Susanne explained the neurological underpinnings of human responses to the circle before guiding participants in creating their own mandalas. Our points: self-care of caregivers is an ethical obligation, and creative activities are easy, effective, and enjoyable self-care.
