Charting Self workshop (Click here for printable workshop outline) Over the past twenty years, many church leaders have become aware of Bowen family systems theory as a way of understanding themselves and the functioning of their congregations. Those who grasp the theory appreciate the need to look beyond “quick fix” answers to the challenges facing the church, its leaders, and society as a whole. Charting Self: The Beliefs Chart as a Tool for Change benefits participants who want to begin a long-term effort at clarifying the “solid self” which provides a basis for responsible thought and choice in an anxious world. The workshop assumes that many of our beliefs have more to do with being comfortable in relationships than with independent thought. Charting Self offers participants a way to come to grips with the interplay of beliefs and relationships in their own lives through the use of a Beliefs Chart. The Beliefs Chart is designed to help one to clarify those beliefs and principles which are one’s own – independent of relationship pressures. It offers participants a way to be more objective about their changing beliefs and relationships and to grow in the capacity to choose a steady course in life. Individual progress in this area has profound implications for the functioning of one’s family, one’s congregation, and all of one’s relationships. Workshop Outline
