“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and be stretched by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.” ~Francis Weller
This presentation is an opportunity to explore the relationship between the sorrow life brings and the joy experienced when burdens are set down, making room for a fluid heart that embraces the joyful sorrow of life in connection with others.
Jeffrey will share reflections from a career as a trauma therapist. He will offer writing prompts to explore your relationship with grief, sorrow, gratitude, and joy and how listening to their calling helps us grow and heal. Time will be given for people to share what they wrote so we can experience a shift from the personal to the communal. Grief as a community offering, brings unexpected resources for setting down our burdens and healing opening our heart further.
This program is open to all.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the presenter and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them. Highlights presenters may at times invite a small number of participants to unmute or to join them onscreen during the webinar (optional).
You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the class. So if you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be able to view it for one month.
