Caya Tanski, Lay Leader
"Grief, Praise and Belonging"
Grief is one of love’s deepest expressions. This service is an invitation to mourn what has been/is being lost, to praise the beauty and mystery of our living Earth, and to deepen the sacred bonds that connect us with all life and each other.

We invite you to join us.
