SUMMARY:A Lifeline for Difficult Times:  The Taking Solace Series
DESCRIPTION:Starting this past November\, Center for Solace (formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice) & Brooks Memorial Library\nbegan an 8-month collaboration on the first Wednesday of each month\, from 6-8 pm. \nCome join us for a wide range of conversations\non tender topics\, from Death Cafes\, to film & discussion nights\,\nspeaker panels\, a climate-grief dialogue\, and more. \nTogether we’ll explore some of the challenges of being alive in our time.\nFor instance\, how might we navigate illness\, caregiving\, or loss?\nOr beyond that\, face a much broader anguish for our fragile planet itself?\nBecause we know that at least one form of solace\nstems from staying connected. \nTo quote poet David Whyte\, “Solace is not meant to be\nan answer\, but an invitation\, through the door of pain and difficulty\,\nto the depth of suffering and simultaneous beauty in the world\nthat the strategic mind by itself cannot grasp or make sense of.”   \nJoin us for the January gathering in this series when we will discuss\nClimate & Ecological Grief: An Exploration \nAll are welcome as we create a space to slow down and share our feelings about the growing effects of climate change. Feelings such as grief\, sadness\, fear\, guilt\, despair\, and helplessness can be held in community as we witness the ongoing destruction of our planetary home. This will not be a venue for problem solving; it’s a place to express and share our feelings about how the earth is rapidly changing. \nAnd to find out about further topics\, please follow\nCenter for Solace or Brooks Memorial Library on Facebook:\ncenterforsolace.org\, or brookslibraryvt.org.
