The Table at the End of the World

In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. This Thanksgiving season we set our table with both the abundance of the harvest and our lamentation over the atrocities woven through the traditions we have inherited. Sitting down at a table piled high with all that is ripe before us, what might it mean to feast on gratitude that is seasoned by grief?

When Old Pain Ripens

In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. The acclaimed therapist and writer Resmaa Menakem offers the distinction between clean pain and dirty pain as he reflects on how we heal from personal and cultural trauma. How do we know when pain has ripened and is ready to be cleanly felt, and healed? And what gives us the courage to harvest?

From Seeds We Did Not Sow

In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. While we like to think of ourselves as the captains of our own ships—independent actors charting the course of our own lives—life always finds a way to reveal that before we ever ripen into the moment of making our own choices, our stories are shaped by those who’ve come before us.

Harvests from the Memory Tree

In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. The end of October marks a holiday known by many names and traditions. In the Gaelic pagan tradition, it’s known as Samhain, marking the end of the season of harvest and the beginning of the darker time of the year. In an intergenerational service of ritual and story, let’s mark the time when “the veil between the worlds is thinnest” by honoring our beloved dead.
