    Systems Theory Voyagers Conference

    August 15, 2018 / By Beth Holdridge / .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

    The Voyagers are a gathering of clergy and church leaders exploring Bowen family systems theory and its application to congregations and leadership by Rabbi Edwin Friedman. We believe that the factual approach of Murray Bowen that underlies his theory and the creative and imaginative use of theory by Edwin Friedman provide a unique understanding of human functioning for life, leadership, coaching, and ministry. 

    On Wednesday, November 14 from 9am-3pm at the Westin Hotel in Buffalo, members of the Voyagers will present “Bowen Theory Introduction and Application.” Cost is $60 or $35 for students (with ID); price goes up after October 31.

    On Thursday, November 15 from 9am-4pm at Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, Dr. Michael Kerr will present “Bowen Theory’s Secrets: The Hidden Life of Families.” Cost is $95 or $65 for students (with ID); price goes up after October 31.

    Registration for both days is $125 or $80 student; price goes up after October 31. Lunch is included on both days.  For more information, click here. For information about the Voyagers group, go to www.voyagers.life.  To register, go to www.voyagers.life/buffalo-events.
