SUMMARY:Sojourn: A Spiritual Care Series [Dempsey Connects]
DESCRIPTION:Cancer can be a powerful force in our exploration and living into the deep questions of what it means to be human and mortal. For those looking to deepen this understanding in relationship\, we invite you to join us for Sojourn\, a new 8-week spiritual care series. The word Sojourn means a temporary stay. In this context\, Sojourn offers a pause for rest and renewal within the cancer experience —a reflective space that aims to create and provide space to question\, wonder\, identify\, and express through peer support\, expressive arts activities\, and meaningful discussion.\n\n“You will be graced with the necessary catastrophes. They will take away your hiding places and reveal unbelievable beauty.” — Andrew Harvey.\n\nLed by Kerry Irish\, LCSW\, OSW-C\, FAOSW and Rev. Abby Pettee\n \nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients.\nParticipants must be a Maine state resident.
