Work That Reconnects in Public Spaces

Online brainstorming & discussion session

February 25th | 6-7:30PM ET | Zoom

There is so much grief in many of our personal lives, and in the collective sphere as well. Sometimes, being able to speak to our grief in the supportive presence of others can help us to not feel so alone in it. Join us on for an ongoing series of online spaces to gather and express grief. This session will be facilitated by Interhelp Board member Joseph Rotella.

This will be a time for reflection and connection, discernment and visioning, renewal and recharging. We will explore tools and teachings for the work ahead of living into the Great Turning.
