Holding It All: The Alchemical Pathway of Transformation
Monday, November 2 at 10:30 am - Noon PST

On All Soul's Day, we explore the lives and teachings of Mary Magdalene and St Francis  and the lay community of artisans who followed in their footsteps: the Confraternities of Italy,  Their story of creating art, music, beauty and also compassionate action during times of famine and plague is one of the most inspiring tales I know, and empowers us  through their example  to hold the grief, sorrow and fear of our times while also staying open to hope, harmony and  joy.  We will discover the alchemical pathway of transformation in a 90 minute session of art, music, story and ritual designed to hold us during this week of global turmoil, and nurture us with community, connection and stories of courage and beauty. Special guest: Parisian singer Catherine Braslavksy, who will teach us a Medieval song of consolation and devition, sung by the followers of St Francis
