Spiritual Care: The Path of the Heart is the title of the fifth installment in the ongoing Spirituality & Aging series set for 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday [May 18] at Immaculata Center, 1408 Carmel Drive, Lafayette, LA.
J. Adam Milgram, recently retired executive director of the Sam and Rose Stein Center for Research on Aging at the University of California in San Diego, will be the speaker.
Milgram practiced psychology in Pennsylvania for more than 20 years. His presentation will focus on "awakening in life and conveying this psycho-spiritual process through a variety of methods," according to a press release.
Spirituality and Aging is an eight-part series that seeks to fit those who care for and counsel seniors with the tools necessary to help seniors begin to fulfill their spiritual needs.
Each installment to date approached the central topic from a variety of perspectives. This segment again offers a new perspective, one from an experienced psychologist and practitioner of Sufism, said Mike Blanchard with Hospice of Acadiana.
The mystic tradition encompasses various beliefs and practices dedicated to Allah, divine love and the cultivation of earth.
It includes The Six Subtleties, or Realities of the Heart, drawn from Quran verses. Each is a spiritual center of perception dormant in an individual.
"Previous workshops approached the topic from the medical and physiological perspective. This one is more philosophical," Blanchard said.
