Learning with Friends: Reflections on Episodes 6 - 9, Season 2

Living Love

Episode 10: Season 2 - Join Beth and Nancy Gabriel as they reflect on highlights and learning from episodes 6 to 9 in Season 2. We explore how having the support of a group can help us in times of big decisions and in the hardest times of loss. These are stories of what belonging and healing can look like - the opposite of loneliness. When we accompany each other and acknowledge grief and fear, it can help us move through the experience. Beth shares stories of how a community created participatory rituals to honor the loss of a loved one, recognizing that a community can hold grief in ways we can’t do alone. We also explore how restoring the flow of giving and receiving can allow people to translate their care into tangible action, in the hardest times.
