An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: A Weekend Retreat

This recorded weekend gathering will explore the elements each of us require to take up an Apprenticeship with Sorrow. It is through a prolonged intimacy with grief that we are ripened as human beings. Our work is to understand grief not only as an emotion, but also as a core faculty of being human, a profound capacity to metabolize sorrow into something nutrient-dense for the community. This apprenticeship is, at heart, about the crafting of elders capable of meeting the pain and suffering of the world with a dignified and robust bearing.
