Community Arts Gathering Seeking Joy in Times of Grief
Saturday, September 16, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
In times of grief, joy may feel unattainable. Sometimes it is. Yet many have noticed that joy and sorrow live side by side. Allowing sadness to be felt fully also gives room for joy to be fully felt. Drawing from “The Book of Joy”, a conversation with the Dali Lama and Desmond Tutu, we will notice those qualities that invite joy and how to encourage them in our individual lives.
