Love and Death, Grief and Gratitude
with Reverend Bodhi Be
Two Sundays: May 2025
In the course of our meetings we will explore practices and teachings for staying sane and healthy in these changing and uncertain times. Listening to our inner heart wisdom supports us to show up more fully, with courage, strength, and capacity to respond to what is being asked of us. Our heart wisdom supports us when our dying time arrives, when we are called on to care for a dying loved one, and when the world as we know it is rapidly changing.
