CPE Summer Intensive (Mar-May) 2015

Trying to figure out how many have committed to do CPE this Summer starting March 16 (or April 8th for half unit). We are coming up with 10 for full unit and 8 for half unit. That is the largest number since 2011. But the number may still go up or down. They will be split between Celia Munson, Dr. Paul Tabon, and Jehny Pedazo.

Any questions, concerns, and such, contact at info@bukallife.org, or bukallife@gmail.com.

Also looking into having another unit starting, perhaps in June… maybe July. Looking into the possibiliy that this unit will focus more on palliative care, due to the growth of need in this area in the Baguio area. Will keep you update.

June 2014 CPE Half Unit

We intend to start a half unit of CPE supervised by Celia Munson (CPSP) in Baguio City. It will start the first week in June and continue 6-7 weeks. If you have any questions, email us at info@bukallife.org, or text/call us at 0933-302-0373 or 0916-557-9549.

Bukal Life Care Membership

Greetings. The Board of Trustees of Bukal Life Care & Training Center has set up a membership roll for people directly (in directly) connected to us (and I suppose for those that want to have some connection with us). There is no cost for membership. It is, however, expressing a desire to grow in “pastoral care” and “pastoral counseling.” We hope to be able to grow together, and utilize each others’ strengths for mutual edification. If you are interested, attached is the membership form. Just fill it out and email to info@bukallife.org. Or you can send it to my personal email address bob2046@yahoo.com. Or you can print it off and give it to one of our staff. We are flexible.
