Bearing the Light in Unbearable Times: A Conversation with Jan Richardson
Online via Zoom, 12-2pm EDT (In-Person Watch Party available at Cranaleith, Philadelphia)
Hosted by Cranaleith Spiritual Center
As fractures in our society continue to widen, how do we tend what is broken without losing heart? How do we carry the light of hope when the darkness of the world surrounds us? This conversation explores how we might become bearers of healing light in a broken world, trusting that even in places of deep rupture, light is already at work, not erasing the scars, but shining through them.
