Bibliotherapy Groups

If you are interested in furthering your spiritual growth and connecting within, bibliotherapy may give you the deeper understanding and support you are seeking. Led by author, Mary G. Jackson, this bibliotherapy group uses the book PRESENCE to guide the creativity, insight, and connection that may pilot a life-altering next step on your spiritual path.

Benefits of a bibliotherapy experience may include reducing loneliness and increasing connection with others. You may become more self-aware as the comfort and compassion of the group leader and each member of the fully confidential group support you. You may find your stress reduced as you become more relaxed and develop coping skills to heal any discomfort of uncertainty. You might even discover the opening to unexplored, long sought after happiness.

If you are currently in therapy, a bibliotherapy group may be added in combination, or you can experience the group as a self-management method to be a starting point to greater understanding of who you are, why are you here, and how you want to live.

The outcome of your experience in this bibliotherapy group may include:

1.     Increase your awareness and mindfulness to the presence of the Divine in your everyday life
