Introduction:
AHNA invites you to submit poster proposals for the 2009 Annual Conference, Reflective Practice: Creating Sacred Space through December 1, 2008. Priority will be given to submissions that address the conference theme/purpose – Reflective Practice: Creating Sacred Space.
Purpose:
The Purpose of this conference is to focus on Holistic Nursing’s central value of self care and how it incorporates the concept of personal awareness as a way to understand the meaning, purpose, strengths, and connections with the self and others. Reflective practice is a process of exploring the meaning of caring experiences and creating space within ourselves to evolve as holistic practitioners. This conference presents an opportunity for us to share our journeys and discover the unique ways to enrich our practice, teaching, and research through the process of reflection.
Topics may reflect:
• Practice • Education • Research • Aesthetics
• Personal & Professional Development
The Conference Objectives:
- Engage in reflective practices to enhance one’s healing presence when designing and providing mindful and holistic care in any setting.
