A Circle For Difficult Times
with Kazuaki Tanahashi

A Workshop for Healthcare Professionals, Patients, Familes and Friends
1:00 - 4:30 PM
Commonweal

Please pre-register by contacting jacquie@commonweal.org

We will all draw multi-colored circles on paper with oil pastel. We will then come up with a phrase we want to be reminded of when facing intense medical treatment or in the process of dying. The circle and phrase will be combined to serve as an aid to shape our consciousness when we are capable of preparing for times of extreme difficulty. This exercise can be helpful for clinicians family members and patients.

Kazuaki Tanahashi, artist and peace worker. He has collaborated with Friederike Boissevain, MD, Germany, on development of the Circle Project. He has trained clinicians in U.S.A. as well as in Europe.
