Poetry of Healing with Paulina Van: A Stillpoint for Nurses to Speak, Feel, and Heal 

This monthly gathering offers a sacred space where the inner life of Nurses is held with reverence—and voice is given to the heart’s truths. Rooted in Caring Science and inspired by the poetry of practice, we feature Nurse poets—and those who write in honor of Nursing—who courageously express what it means to care, to grieve, to witness, and to heal. In each episode, we pause... creating a stillpoint in time… where words become a balm, and connection becomes a sacred act of human-to-human presence. Here, love, caring, and compassion are not only spoken but deeply felt. Whether you're a Nurse, a poet, or someone simply in need of gentle reflection, you are welcome here.

Book Launch - When the Moment Chooses You: From Silence to Strength

Charlene Johnson, RN, MSN

Join us in celebration of Charlene Johnson’s new book When the Moment Chooses You: From Silence to Strength (links to Amazon), a call to action for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or uncertain about their purpose. During this presentation you are invited on a journey through the defining moments that shape our lives and careers—the moments that call us to step up, speak out, and lead with purpose. As in her book, this talk will explore how adversity, burnout, and uncertainty can be transformed into opportunities for growth and impact. Sharing personal experiences, practical insights, and strategies Charlene will help you recognize when your moment has arrived—and how to seize it with confidence. Whether you are a nurse, a leader, or someone searching for deeper purpose, this session will inspire you to find your voice, rise with courage, and unleash your impact. The moment is waiting—are you ready?

Native American Hoop Dance and The Dance of Caring 

We begin the new year with Native American Hoop Dancer, Educator and Cultural Ambassador Eddie Madril, PhD(c) and Sara Moncada, MA, Native Educator, Cultural Artist and Dancer joining us for this special event. Drawing from the Hoop Dance and their book The Dance of Caring they will take us on a journey into Native insights that inspire caregivers toward abundance, strength and inner harmony. You can learn more at their website sewamdance.com.

Eddie has performed Hoop Dance all over the world. This includes opening the National Magnet Conference, opening for one of Jean Watson’s WCSI events at Stanford and giving the keynote address for The Oncology Nurses Association. Sara’s connection to Nurses is decades long. She was instrumental in overseeing the work that initially defined staffing excellence resulting in the publication Excellence and Evidence in Staffing, she was producer of the feature film Nurses: If Florence Could See Us Now and was the Managing Director for the non-profit Institute for Staffing Excellence and Innovation for many years.

Both Eddie and Sara draw from their rich experience as representatives of Native American culture, their roles as professors in Native American Studies, as well as from their own experiences as caregivers in sharing their stories.
