Life is made of change. It always has been. But in the 21st century, the changes come faster and closer together. How can we pause to make sense of our changing world and to better understand our choices in living with change, whether it’s personal or global? This yearlong series of twelve stand-alone online programs and three in-person retreats takes a deeper dive into Karen Hering’s book Trusting Change, exploring how to engage our memory and imagination when encountering the uncertainties of the present day. On the second Tuesday of each month, Karen will lead an online session of embodied practices, guided reflection and conversation with a specific focus of how to make change more trustworthy. On Oct. 8, we’ll talk about Moving On. Karen Hering writes in Trusting Change, “When we step into the present moment without attachments to what we’ve known before and what we’ve expected or desired for the future, we are opening the way for many emotions, including joy.” Join your fellow thresholders for an evening of embodied practices, guided writing, reflection and conversation led by Karen Hering.
