THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!
Loss reshapes the ways we live, at times fundamentally placing us face to face with death and at other times subtly working on our internal landscapes as we navigate relationships, identities, and ways of being. We each encounter moments where life asks us to look at its shadow--moments when we, inevitably, are given the question, in the face of loss, how do we want to live? These writers explore that question and invite you to explore it with them.
