The Wayne E. Oates Institute is a Connected Learning Community exploring spirituality and health as a way to advance integrative care for the whole person. The Oates Institute is a non-profit educational organization made up of caregivers from the medical, spiritual and counseling communities providing a forum for joining together as an interdisciplinary dialogue toward understanding the relationship between spirituality and the healing process.

By transcending the need to share the same physical space, or to be online at the same time, participants are able to interact with each other from any time zone or location that has internet access.  With this high degree of schedule flexibility, participants have time for personal reflection in the context of a supportive peer group.

Most seminars are designed for three weeks and they feature at least one presentation per week.  Participants may earn 12 contact hours of continuing education credit when they meet the participation requirements of a three week seminar. Registration is free for Oates Institute members and only $60-90 per seminar for non-members.
