Make The Storm Your Medicine
May 10 · 9:00 AM · Sanctuary
Poet Andrea Gibson tells us, “when I realized the storm was inevitable, I made it my medicine” Come and we will explore this powerful transition, opening to the unwelcome teachers and forging resilience in the face of all that comes. Trailmix will be providing the music, a mix of a familiar folk, folk rock classics, a Beatles song, and an original inspired by Mother’s Day
