Grief in a Time of Not Knowing with Roshi Joan Halifax
Social Justice Resources for COVID-19 Rapid-Response series
Published April 28, 2020
Let’s go together into the big grief, loss, intimacy, and possibility available in the unknown - all the time, and especially now as this pandemic forces great transitions. How may we engage with this time as a rite of passage? Because we won’t be able to return to the landscape that we left, but to a landscape that is yet to be revealed.
You'll hear from Roshi Joan Halifax; a Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist, and pioneer in the field of end-of-life care; along with Reverend Jennifer Bailey & Carinne Luck of Faith Matters Network.
