Belonging and Communitas

Jan Anderson, EdD, RN, AHN-BC, Caritas Coach soul-to-soul, and radiate healing energy to all our brothers and sisters.

As human beings, it is our need to feel heard, seen, accepted and appreciated for who we are that helps us to feel connected to ourselves and others so we can transcend the illusion that we are separate and alone. It is in a loving, supportive communitas that we become more sensitive and aware of ourselves and each other. We learn to see each other as unique and beautiful with gifts and talents that help to connect and strengthen the community. The ethic of belonging moves us into the Unitary Caring field so we can fulfill our moral responsibility to care for and have compassion and respect not only others, but ourselves. This means we become morally obligated to take compassionate human action towards hope, faith, health and peace. We do this by co-creating communitas wherever we are. Practicing equanimity, caritas communication and love and acceptance.

Transpersonal Nursing as Ontological Artists: Using Healing with the Arts as a Guide Towards Transcendence 

With Ruth Simmons, MSN, RN, CLC, CNOR

Ruth Simmons is a self-taught artist and dedicated Nurse with eight years of experience, initially in labor and delivery and currently in a leadership role within the operating room. Residing on an acreage in rural Nebraska, Ruth enjoys nurturing a garden and connecting with her animals. A passionate painter, Ruth works with acrylics and oils to express her creativity. As a PhD student in the Caring Science program at the University of Colorado Anschutz, Ruth collaborated with Dr. Mary Rockwood Lane on an independent study in "Healing with the Arts." This experience deepened Ruth's understanding of Transpersonal Nursing as an ontological artist, focusing on self-healing to enhance compassion for oneself and others. Her ultimate goal is to explore resiliency in Nurses through arts-based research.
