Mental Health Mondays at the Cathedral of the Rockies

The purpose of Mental Health Mondays at the Cathedral of the Rockies is to give people tools during these challenging times. The first two (see poster above) were given by Megan Koehler, and then more after that by Megan and Jerri Walker. Both Megan and Jerri are licensed professional counselors with years of experience and wisdom in the mental health arena.


Megan and Jerri share important information and practical ways to care for our mental health during these times.  Anxiety, grief, and so much more - are topics they talk about. This is especially important during times of loss, change, disruption in general, and the accumulated effects of every thing that is touching all of us right now.


Here are Megan and Jerri's Mental Health Monday presentations:


Megan Koehler, Week One


Megan Koehler, Week Two


Megan Koehler, Week Three


Jerri Walker, Week Four


 Jerri Walker, Week Five


These are great resources for any of us, and would be easy to share with those you think might benefit. 



It was so humbling to be asked to contribute a couple of sessions. I am not a professional counselor, but I do have some perspective on value of "practices". This first is about the practices of humility, grateful living, and generosity. Next week, I will be talking about the practice of "presence".

This isn't exactly the most mentally healthy picture of me to see,

but I think it gets better,

except maybe for the Covid haircut...sigh.

Humor helps in challenging times, eh?


Seriously, it was a joyful privilege to be invited to share these.


These are some of the resources mentioned in the video.

This is often quiet work. The work that rarely makes headlines.

Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).

Life is messy. We know that. But some people move through that mess with a surprising kind of grace.
