Zoom – Transforming Trauma
With M Freeman
April 14, 2020
How do you turn something horrible into something beautiful? This two-hour gathering will ponder that question–it’s at the heart of Marilyn’s new book, The Illuminated Space, and might be the crucible for this collective moment in dealing with the pandemic. We’ll reflect on that question through readings, writing, contemplative practice and sharing.
Facilitator
