Intentional Space for Grief
Between services, Intern Pax (they/them) will be holding intentional space for grief in the sanctuary, both in person and on Zoom. Feel free to have a candle nearby, a story to share of a loved one who has died, some tissues, and the spaciousness to hold some intentional presence with and for each other. We will check in with ourselves and each other about what we're carrying on this tender feast day. There will be poetry, reflection questions, and an invitation for brief story sharing. Come as you are with whatever capacity you have to tend to all the emotions that come with loss and remembrance.
