Loneliness and Gratitude: A Retreat for Women Veterans

“Don’t surrender your loneliness too quickly.”  Hafiz

A national headline last year tells us that our world is suffering an epidemic of loneliness. The landscape of November evokes recognition of that reality. And yet, the images of desolation draw us deeper into the mystery that holds our lives in gratitude and hope. On this day of quiet reflection immersed in creation’s late fall beauty, we will reverence our losses and our longing with one another. Through poetry, music, ritual and a simple art expression, we will explore the relationship between loneliness and gratitude. We will open our eyes to the blessedness we share.

This program is offered free of charge.  Some transportation assistance is available.  Please contact programs@cranaleith.org.
