SUMMARY:Building Communities for Lament and Hope
DESCRIPTION:For more info and to register, click here: https://building-communities-lament-hope.eventbrite.com ( https://building-communities-lament-hope.eventbrite.com )\nThursdays, October 16-November 20, 2025, from 7:00 – 8:00 PM. ET.\nThis program takes place online via six one-hour Zoom meetings.\nThe live sessions will not be recorded.\nABOUT THE PROGRAM\nCome as you are. Together we will build a community for both lament and hope.\nOur ancient heritage of communal lament can draw us closer to God. Listening in community and staying together with the grief will create an experience of communal lament and God’s Presence therein.\nFrom that place of closeness with God, we can choose to access the hope which is in our God.\nTogether, we can become Hope: Hope walking in the world, Hope as healing presence, and Hope as resistance.\nThis circle will be led by Francie Thayer and Heather Strang, Co-Directors at The Retreat House, an intentional community with a mission to share God’s abundant love in the world by holding sacred, compassionate and inclusive space.\n
