Join us if you are seeking connection in challenging times. This 7-week experience is a good complement to Lenten practices and is designed by therapists, pastors and chaplains. Offered for teachers, parents, young and older people, community leaders, pastors and creation care advocates. This is for people of all faiths and for those with no faith affiliation. Together, we will explore emotional and spiritual responses and share stories in the face of current ecological and social challenges.
Responses like grief and sorrow, anxiety and fear, guilt and shame, anger, and despair are normal responses in unprecedented times. This course is designed to offer mutual support, healing, insight, and compassion, not a therapy experience. Register Before February 6 Deadline.
Offered 7 Wednesdays, February 11- March 25, 2026, 12:15-1:30 pm ET pm ET Led by therapists Connie Burns, Martha Frame and Sydne Stone and Pastor Nicole Vickey and Rev. Scott Hardin-Nieri.
