SPEAKING TO YOUR SMALL GROUP

Hi! I’m available to talk about my latest endeavor as an editor in a June 2026 publication, “Spirituality in Pharmacy Practice: Perspectives on Whole-Person Care.” This unique book contains 29 personal stories of pharmacists and their patients and how the spiritual aspect of our beings impacted their health. This book is not just for Pharmacists. Although the authors are pharmacists and pharmacy students, the stories are about real patients and how any healthcare provider can provide support for their patients who have a spiritual component to their lives. Our editors envision that in addition to groups of pharmacists, pharmacy students and pharmacy technicians, a one-hour program will be thought-provoking to everyone who has been a patient in the healthcare system in the United States. What does it look like when the patient and healthcare provider care not only about physical and mental needs, but spiritual needs as well.

I’m also available to facilitate two longer four-hour workshops built on learnings from the SSJE Episcopal Monastery in Cambridge, MA, “The Holiness of Time” and “A Framework for Freedom: Growing a Rule of Life.” Gatherings of 30-50 people are ideal with break-out sessions in smaller groups.

If your group is interested in my own person faith story I can share my book, CHASING MY FATHER with your small group in a one hour session. A gathering of 10-20 people is ideal where we can mutually explore topics and have an open dialogue.

To check my availability, send an email to agatha@agathanolen.com, or text 615-400-0611. Please provide information about your small group as well as potential dates and locations and which session you are interested in.

This workshop helps us to reflect on TIME and how we can learn to use our time well. We’ll approach our examination of TIME with reflections on STOP, PRAY, WORK, PLAY, and LOVE, asking God to help us weave together various threads in our lives as a beautiful tapestry.
