Ashley, Kacie, and Nicolette led our class discussion on Wednesday. It was a divided session, starting before our Lahaina tour and concluding after lunch. As usual, the students leading the session did a great job fostering discussion among their peers. The session highlighted the difficulty we can experience as health care providers in helping patients express their spirituality or practice their religion in the hospital setting, as well as how researchers examine the role of spirituality and faith in health and healing.
The first part of class; the group is sitting near the site of the healing stone.
Second part of class, now outside the hotel.
Class ended with an opportunity to participate in guided imagery; students started by getting into the most relaxing position they could find.
