Healing in Community- The essential “we” and function of curating community collaborative care to inspire healing within. Come explore how our collective believes that healing in community calls us to the essential work of the 'we'. We cannot be spiritually, psychologically, or emotionally whole until all are well, for true wellness honors the inherent value of each person in our shared humanity. We are interconnected and healing is therefore a shared, collaborative journey that invites us to look within. 

We all have a relationship with hope. It is a force that has the power to sustain us through the darkest of times, but it often comes at a significant cost to its beholder. This cost is too often overlooked, misunderstood, or altogether neglected for the sake of “keeping spirits alive” or “staying positive.” CJ Rithner invites us to sit with and in the pain of hope; to consider that the hope of becoming is an invitation to our grief, and our grief is the gateway to our personal and collective healing. 

Continue our series in the Art of Becoming and healing in community through the use of expressive arts. Julie Kittredge will invite you into a conversation about how expressive art and community are a natural way to engage the healing process together as we explore our individual understanding/experience of community with a small individual project and then bring our collective selves into a process of engaging beauty, nature, and healing together as we collaborate on something bigger than ourselves. Reflection and sharing of your experience will be optional but invited.
