Spiritually Equipping Children and Youth During Difficult Times with the Rev. Deshna Charron
Zoom | November 11 | 12 - 1:30 pm Eastern
Around the world, communities are facing major social and systemic change. Signs of societal and environmental collapse are evident. Our attempts to live “independently,” create the experience of separation that leads to suffering, division and destruction, all of which runs counter to the sacred teachings present in all the World Religions, Earth-centered expressions and the teachings of Jesus. Nourishing children spiritually and equipping them with the skills they need to not just survive but thrive within this chaotic and stressful environment can ground, prepare and inspire the next generation. We do this by providing spiritual practices, self-awareness exercises and organizing tools so that youth and their communities may rise up resiliently, modeling a healthy and whole way forward for all.
