About the Lecture
We all hold a treasure of spiritual experiences which have blessed and challenged us. What happens when we explore, understand, integrate, preserve, and share these experiences with someone we can trust? Come discover the invitation Mayo Clinic’s Hear My Voice research project holds for all of us.
Mayo Clinic’s Hear My Voice research project invited patients with advanced illnesses to meet individually with a chaplain and review and summarize their lives using a spiritual lens. Katherine Piderman will share her experience with this study, including the interview questions used, selections from the interviews, and tributes from those involved. We will practice with the Hear My Voice questions and discuss possibilities going forward.
A blessing in itself, this research project is intended as “a mustard seed” for others to use in their personal and professional lives.
About the Speaker
Katherine (Kate) Piderman was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Canada but has lived in the midwestern United States most of her adult life. Kate’s education includes Master’s degrees in education, pastoral studies, and scripture, and a PhD in psychology. A Catholic laywoman, Kate served for 20 years in parishes in rural Illinois and for over 25 years as a chaplain, mostly at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Kate is an associate professor in the Mayo College of Medicine and has been actively involved in research and education in spirituality and health. She has taught in many settings – regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Kate will integrate some learnings from a research project called, Hear My Voice, into our time together today. Completing her training at Sacred Ground in 2020, Kate is a spiritual director and feels blessed to accompany people seeking to explore and deepen their faith in the midst of the complexities of life. She loves the outdoors and is often surprised and delighted by the many ways God winks at her when she is still enough to notice.
