And it Came to Pass

A Workshop with Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer

Sunday, August 24 at 12:30 p.m.

All Souls Interfaith Gathering

“…fragility and impermanence are in the nature of life.It’s always coming together and falling apart—And it is possible to hold it all in love and compassion.”-- from The Five Invitations:Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Life by Frank Ostaseski

Although we know that everything on earth is impermanent, we still tend to think that difficult circumstances will last forever. So why do we humans dislike and avoid change?

When changes happen, whether expected or not, and whether our conscious choice or not, we can experience fear, anger, grief and feelings of loss. Do we allow ourselves to “feel what we feel,” or cover them with “toxic positivity” and “spiritual bypass?”

Join Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer for a mind and heart opening workshop on the inevitable experience of change, recognizing that we are always “chopping wood, carrying water.”
