Ashes Transformed: Healing from Trauma

How can the church honor a person's profound experience of struggle, change or celebration? How can corporate worship link to the unique and real-life needs of the people in the pews? God wants us to be whole. One of the purposes of the church is to encourage that. However, in seeking to provide something for everyone, corporate worship traditions may have lost a personal touch that members need. Perhaps your most dedicated parishioner, for whatever reason, looks outside the congregation for support or growth. Positive change comes from these efforts, but often the much needed spiritual element is left unaddressed. In Gathered Together: Creating Personal Liturgies for Healing and Transformation, Norberg offers ideas for creating tailor-made liturgies that connect daily life with the rituals of worship. ''Individualized healing liturgies are not psychotherapy but a wonderful adjunct to an inner journey that may include therapy,'' Norberg writes. ''...Personal liturgies can bring a vital component to the life of the church. [They] offer an exciting, effective, even necessary, contribution to personal growth a natural addition to healing ministries.''

Gathered Together: Creating Personal Liturgies for Healing and Transformation

Consenting to Grace, set in the context of the author's own healing journey, integrates healing prayer, spiritual companioning, and insights from Gestalt psychotherapy. Gestalt Pastoral Care is attentive to the intricate dance of body, mind, emotions, spirit, and social context, in the faith that God is already at work in each of these arenas to bring healing. Tilda Norberg shows how insights from Gestalt Pastoral Care can greatly enhance ministries of healing and pastoral counseling.

Tilda Norberg’s Dancing in the Parking Lot tells the story of a life on the creative edges of church and society. In these pages, the author reveals experiences that shaped her: her Alabama roots with “Granny,” a mountain midwife; lessons from her mother, “The Rebel”; and perhaps most significantly, the sudden death of Norberg’s devoted parents in an Easter Day plane crash when she was just sixteen years old.\nIn her adult life, Norberg shepherded an East Harlem street gang; became a feminist; climbed mountains; fought for ordination; and birthed a ministry. In these pages, you are invited to step into the life of a modern mystic, social activist, feminist pioneer, church reformer, and revered counselor.

Tonight you may have a dream that changes your life. Dreams are otherworldly - sometimes zany, sometimes horrific, sometimes both at once. They emerge from the subconscious, a rather irrational place. The dreamscape is ideal for exploring emotions irrationally, fearlessly and freely - forcing us all to face up to who we really are. "Your dreams send you nightly invitations to grow, invitations so precisely tailored to fit you that they are delivered in a code only you can break," writes Norberg. "Dreams spring from feelings and fears, scars and strengths, hidden depths and desires. They most often lead to making discoveries rather than making sense." The Chocolate-Covered Umbrella offers * a simple, holistic way to pay attention to your dreams * fascinating dream stories and their messages decoded by the dreamers * suggestions for remembering dreams and dealing with nightmares * hints for finding God in your dreams To explore your dreams, Norberg says you need "a spirit of adventure, curiosity and willingness to do a bit of inner sleuthing." Begin the quest of emotional growth and spiritual awakening, which will open you to the Holy One in a new way. What are your dreams telling you?
