Tending to a Grieving Heart
Saturday, March 29, 2025
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Lisa Irish
You are invited to come apart, share time and sacred space with others who are grieving, and learn a little more about the Land of Loss. You know this place, however, you got here - through sudden death, lengthy illness, long ago loss, or a confused heart through non-death loss. All types of loss invite us into a place of healing and the kindling of hope. It is our "attending to grief " that allows new life to take root. This day will include presentation, sharing, prayer, and quiet time - all within the care of the Holy, who joins us in every moment.
Offering: $75, includes lunch
