Careless Vespers: How the monastic Rule of St. Benedict could guide us to create healthier communities with Dr Dan Neal

Therapeutic Communities have a history going back to work at the military hospital of Northfield in the Second World War. However, they can also be seen as representing an integration and application of an exhilarating plethora of ideas with roots in many other fields. One such area, which has not been sufficiently appreciated, is the potential links between monastic and therapeutic communities. In this talk, Dan will trace some of these interrelations, with mutual benefits in both directions.
