The everyday stresses of life, as well as the occasional unexpected misfortunes, often make us anxious, worried, and afraid. Facing these painful emotions can feel overwhelming and confusing. It may seem hopeless, as if there is nothing we can do.

In this stormy darkness of fear and hopelessness, there is a light. Our own desperate heart knows how to cry out for help; our own beautiful mind knows how to invite in the love that heals.

In this morning of guided meditation, ceremony, and dialogue, learn how the emotions are pathways to deep comfort and openings for the presence of love. All are welcome.

$20 welcomed donation. All invited, regardless of funds

Participants are also invited to bring offerings for a small ceremony: colorful fruits and flowers, incense, candles, bunches of fragrant herbs, healthy, delicious snacks and drinks, and photographs or objects representing important people or concerns in their lives.
