Recurring Events
Healing Circle
Smith Center will be offering an online Healing Circle via Zoom with David “Lucky” Goff and Wendy Miller. Those who have been most gravely tested by life have the most loss, and potentially the most to gain. Yet it is in how we respond to these conditions - which come in many complex and subtle forms such as grief, illness, injury, injustice, war, and other unknown heartbreaks - that defines us and defines our life.
This bi-monthly circle is an opportunity to create a cyberspace community, connecting with others as we learn to grow through the hardships we have experienced in life, not in spite of them, but because of them. Healing becomes a by-product from our shared culture of community, connection, and mystery. In such a community, our flames of creativity can be lit, as we discover ourselves as more sensitized and adaptive human beings.
