Join us for an intimate conversation with Francis Weller, best selling author of “the Wild Edge of Sorrow’, as we explore the themes of his latest book In the Absence of the Ordinary - Soul Work for Times of Uncertainty.
Francis Weller has a rare gift for naming the thresholds we live in but rarely speak of. In this intimate online gathering, we will discuss his new book and explore how to follow a soulful path and uncover sources of resilience in the face of what feels overwhelming.
Weller describes our era as a “rough initiation” — a threshold moment asking us to find new forms of belonging. Together we will explore how tending to sorrow, beauty, and ritual can help us navigate disorientation, and uncover sources of resilience in the face of what feels overwhelming.
With his signature poetic depth and fierce tenderness, Francis will invite us to slow down, to feel into the grief and beauty of this time, and to listen for what might be emerging through the cracks when so much of the familiar is falling away.
