About this Event
The trauma was real. The grief is ongoing. The recovery will be long-term.
After the devastating LA fires, where can we, our families, friends and neighbors find the emotional and spiritual support needed to survive and thrive on the journey to recovery?
This new Compassion-Based Support Group offers anyone impacted by the LA fires the opportunity to be heard, to begin healing, and even to become hopeful.
We'll gather together on Tuesdays beginning April 15 through May 20 (April 15, 22, 29; May 6, 13, 20) at 7:00-8:15 PM at First Christian Church of North Hollywood.
Led by experienced facilitators of compassion-based practices, each gathering will use mindfulness, visualization, and imagination to promote internal grounding and nurture understanding of our own fears, longings, and wounds. Small breakout groups will offer an experience of nonjudgmental, compassionate listening to those who choose to share. Facilitators will hold compassionate space that is free from cross-talk, comparison, criticism and correction. Participants will be invited to welcome the Sacred Presence they know to companion them along the journey.
We welcome anyone who lost their home, who cannot live in their home, who was personally traumatized by the fires, who has friends and family who were traumatized, who is a first responder or long-term caregiver...anyone who is in need of compassionate space and supportive community.
Come one night, two nights, or all six. Participation is free. Walk-ins are welcome.
