WEBINAR: Humanist chaplaincy/counseling: methodology (26 February, 10h00)
In succession to the online meeting last december, EHP will host a new webinar on the 26th of February (10h00 European Time).
The webinar by Anouk Bolsenbroek will explore the work of the late Jan Hein Mooren on humanist chaplaincy and its methodology. This webinar was supposed to be given in december last year, but on that day Jan Hein tested positive for Covid 19 and a few days later sadly he passed away. He will be missed, but his work and legacy remains with us.
The webinar could be useful for chaplains, both experienced and beginning, but also for those who are otherwise interested, or developing humanist services. After the webinar you will receive some usefull literature.

Summerclass 8 July 2020
Wednesday the 8th July the EHP organised the first summerclass for humanist chaplains via Zoom. 16 chaplains form 6 countries attended the meeting, which was led by Prof. Carmen Schumann of the University for Humanistics in Utrecht. She started with an lecture and after that there was a lively discussion – also on the chat – about different themes. For instance the question what is a good name for the profession. The reactions were positive, the EHP will develop more activities in this field.
One of the reactions:
“Very valuable to connect with other humanists in the same field. Let`s stay in touch!”
