Through the years many people have found Bowen Theory helpful in dealing with various factors affecting one’s work and personal life. For those working with the theory, differences in the manner in which practitioners think about, apply and teach are apparent. The Voyagers have invited six leaders who work with Bowen and Friedman perspectives to participate in an event described as an 'adventure.' The adventure being proposed is a meeting of leading individuals – a conference during which leaders in the field of Bowen Theory, Rabbi Friedman’s work, and congregations are invited to define themselves and their work. You are invited to a conference in which leaders in the application of Bowen Theory to congregations and clergy come together to "define self and stay in touch." Presenters include Roberta Gilbert (Extraordinary Relationships, The Cornerstone Concept, etc.), faculty member of the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family; Ron Richardson (Creating a Healthier Church, Becoming a Healthier Pastor, etc.); Mickie Crimone, Center for Family Process faculty (Rabbi Friedman's faculty); Peter Steinke (Healthy Congregations, How Your Church Family Works, Congregational Leadership in Anxious Times, etc.); Larry Matthews, (Founder of Leadership in Ministry); and, Emlyn Ott (Director of Healthy Congregations, Inc.) Registration for the conference is $90 [$100 check or cash only at the door].
