General Grief Resources
Grief, Activism, and Abolition
For those struggling with collective grief, join a conversation with Jungian psychotherapist and scholar Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PHD and Buddhist minister and teacher Lama Rod Owens. Both leaders  offer guidance in taking steps – both large and small – towards wisdom, spiritual growth, and action when faced with the troubles we collectively experience in the present and inherit from the past.
Reflections:
- What insights have you gained by struggling with the grief of catastrophic events both locally and globally or ancestral trauma?
- Can you name at least one new opportunity for change or see one new pathway that has cleared?
- What roles can spiritual or mindfulness practice, service, advocacy, or activism play in your journey towards wholeness?
Grief and Community
Facing the obstacles on a spiritual path, Lama Rod Owens, David Nichtern, and Michael Kammers, discuss the seven sorrows of the new saint.
