Family and Congregational Systems Seminars
Bowen Family Systems Theory has attracted increasing attention from leaders of faith communities and other organizations. In addition, many have found it a resource for a variety of personal life challenges—parenting, extended family relationships, retirement planning and more. Bowen theory offers a different way to observe and understand human relationships. A common outcome is the discovery that a deeper understanding of one’s own family system propels an increasing effectiveness in other relationship systems—including in one’s profession.
