Bearing the Light in Unbearable Times: A Conversation with Jan Richardson (Online)

As fractures in our society continue to widen, how do we tend what is broken without losing heart? How do we carry the light of hope when the darkness of the world surrounds us?

Join us for an online conversation with Jan Richardson—acclaimed artist, writer, and ordained minister in the United Methodist Church whose work has guided countless people through seasons of grief, uncertainty, and renewal. Through her powerful poetic blessings, Jan offers language and imagery that help us face hard realities with courage, compassion, and holy imagination.

Drawing from her own journeys into darkness and grace, she invites us to trust that even in places of deep rupture, light is already at work—not erasing the scars, but shining through them.

Come explore how we might become bearers of healing light in a broken world. We hope you will join us for this meaningful and timely conversation.
