Millennial Spirituality

Location: Sorrento Italian Restaurant

Speaker/Program:

Millennial Spirituality – Millennials (roughly 18-35 years of age) are more likely than generations preceding them to claim to be spiritual, but not religious. Many Millennials aren’t that interested in traditional religious practices, but they do have an appetite for spiritual questioning.

Millennials are digital natives–the first generation raised on personal computing. They have grown up in a networked world where world cultures and economies are connected, and they can reach out to people across the world with a click. One in five has a friend in a distant country. For them a cosmology of connection as a lived reality. They have also heard a lot about respecting others; they live in a world where gender, sexual, national and religious orientation is increasingly fluid. Ambiguity is routine.

What does that mean?

Why has this come about?

What does it mean for the rest of us?

Helping others has been Rosemary Behrens’s mantra for as long as she can remember. In working with counseling issues, she enjoys helping people to learn coping skills, move past relationship issues, and recognize their full potential. She assists clients who are coping with chronic pain to increase their understanding of the difference between acute pain and chronic pain. Her practice reaches individuals, couples, adolescents, and children. She uses Cognitive-Behavioral, Adlerian, and Family Systems theories. Rosemary believes in addressing the whole person, encompassing body, mind, and spirit.

Rosemary received her Masters of Arts in Counseling in 2008 and her license as a professional counselor from the state of Texas in 2011. She is currently working on a doctoral degree in Counselor Education.
