Spiritual Care In the Polycrisis —
Gagan Leekha, Homilist —
Lynne Bonner, Worship Associate —
These times are unsettling. When we feel separate, when despair grows strong, how do we turn to our spiritual practice to remember to bring the heart online as we turn towards the suffering of the world? How do we fall back in love with this world, let our hearts break a little bit, and feel our ways back into wise response? This will be an interactive session with elements of Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects framework.
