About Ansel

Compassion fatigue (CF) has become far more prevalent in the recent pandemic, creating mass exits from the caring professions. Compassion fatigue, penned as the “cost of caring”, can be the result of physical and emotional exhaustion which leads to a decreased ability to provide compassionate care. Professional burnout, intricately intertwined with CF, is brought on by prolonged or repeated stress over a period of time. Those whose professions involve providing care to others are at great risk for CF and burnout.

Join us as we listen to and reflect on the powerful poetry and moving music of ten spirituals including Give Me Jesus, He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, Were You There, and Let us Break Bread Together in musical settings by a New Orleans native and expert in American Spirituals. Walk as companions with our brothers and sisters in faith along a common spiritual journey through the crucifixion towards the promised land.
