$ Book Study: The Wild Edge of Sorrow (NC Institute for Spiritual Direction and Formation)
April 1 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
“Where there is sorrow, there is holy ground.” – Oscar Wilde
After years of companioning those who are grieving, both as a spiritual director and a grief and trauma therapist, NCISDF co-director Khris Ford returns to this book time and again. Frances Weller writes of the sacred work for grief, identify the “five gates of grief.” These gates open for us the “communal halls of grief.” We are guided to a deeper understanding of the ways loss has touched our lives; the ways loss has touched our souls.
This is a book for everyone who has known low – which means it’s for all of us. We are all moving through times of loss and carrying remnants of past losses. There is a freshness about the approach in “The Wild Edge of Sorrow.” It is enlivening, deep, challenging, and hopeful.
Together, we will explore what it means to be, as Weller says, “an apprentice to our sorrow,” opening the five gates of grief along our way.
Participants will need to purchase the book. Please read the Foreword and Preface before the first session on April 1st.
April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 7:00pm – 8:30pm via zoom
