Braiding Wisdom Winter Series: Inviting Beauty and Meaning at the End Part 2
Endings matter - the end of a project, a job, a relationship, a life. Endings often bring up sadness, anger, pain and fear - and they can be times where profound meaning and beauty emerge.
In this two part series, we'll use preparing for end of life as a doorway to explore how to approach endings with intention, curiosity and creativity.
Session 2:
Preparing for Endings: Creativity and Community
Join us as we explore how deep conversation, caring circle and ceremony can help to ensure that our endings are well tended and mended.
