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 Morrison 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.

“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
