Finding Joy After the Sorrow

April 13 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CDT

$40.00
Eremos Being with the Divine Series

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” –Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

As the Eremos community explores joy (our 2023 program theme), we tenderly hold the awareness of so much sorrow consciously or unconsciously needing to be acknowledged before there may be room for joy.

In this season of rebirth and renewal, join us for an evening with Rev. Mary Earle, as she shares her wisdom on how she and others have found joy again after—and sometimes amidst—the sorrow experienced from illness, devastating loss, and unexpected change. 

With plenty of time for questions after her opening presentation, this interactive conversation with Mary can help you:

  • Gently open to joy amidst any sorrow you are experiencing now.
  • Let go of guilt about finding joy after your own suffering or the suffering of others.
  • Feel compassion for yourself and others when returning to joy takes longer than you’d like.
