Resources for Caregivers
The work of Kairos is to:
· Provide support for people who are committed to bringing the consciousness of heart into human service work.
· Raise awareness of the risks and potentials of working deeply with the human condition, human development and trauma, and the needs of helpers.
· Explore, through pilot projects in burnout prevention and support, the re-empowerment of the individual within his/her profession and the return of meaning to both work and service.
· Conduct research on how the human heart and psyche affect the workplace, as well as how the workplace affects the heart, body and psyche.

The Kairos Project
The Kairos project is an ongoing support and inquiry group for heart-centered people in direct care of human beings. In any of the myriad forms of helping and service work there is risk of burnout, loss of spirit or loss of excitement in growth through service.
The Kairos project works from the idea that special care, awareness and support networking is necessary for individuals who work to support human development and evolution. Though the need for this care and support are sometimes acknowledged, it is most commonly neglected in our workplaces and communities. As a result, many caregivers are prone to burnout and disenchantment with their professional lives, while often still longing to follow their life’s intention to do their professional work. This is particularly true in birth and death care, or in teaching and healing roles, though not exclusive to these.
The Kairos Project takes up this issue for examination and experimentation, and explores how and whether support groups and processes external to the workplace can help sustain and reignite passion for human service work, while supporting the growth and sense of meaning of the worker.
This group is currently free. It meets periodically in Rockland County and is open to all inspired, heart-centered human helpers after interview. Fees are charged for participation in some Kairos projects to support its ongoing work.
Call Jeanne at 845- 598-1727 or email jdenney@email.com if you are interested in participation in Kairos projects.
