Ellen was struck a few months back by how many of us had lost parents and loved ones and were grieving. And then during last week’s gathering, one of the pervasive feelings in this political moment is grief. It is so important to make room for, to welcome and work with grief.
During this week’s Sangha gathering, Ellen shared two shorter talks, one by Gil Fronsdal on the elements of grief and one by Matthew Brensilver titled Grief and Love. The talks were followed by a guided self compassion meditation based on the work of Kristin Neff.
Links to the talks are forthcoming.
