Choosing Grief and Cultivating Hope

We are delighted to have seminarian and spiritual coach Sana DelCorazon speak with us again.

Mariame Kaba writes, “We are living in disastrous times and we will need one another. We are wading through hell and high water, tasked with dreaming new worlds into being while the worlds we have known fall down around us. Here, on the edge, of everything, the work of cultivating hope and purpose, of anchoring people to another another, is as important now as it has ever been…” in her book with Kelly Hayes, Let This Radicalize You. How is Dakota UU as a community enacting grief with intention to push against indifference of the world while practicing active hope to remain creative and strategic? Hope and grief must coexist in community. In order to remain whole and not fall into despair or numbness, together, we must build a counterculture of care where hope and grief are practiced collectively. We will explore why and how we choose to practice grief and hope in times of climate catastrophe, fascism, war and destruction.
