Find ways to be with those who are suffering

A great insight matters little unless and until
we bring it into the world.

At the meeting we'll take a look at several insights about suffering. Then we will explore the place of suffering in our own life. Finally, we will think about how we can use suffering for self-transformation and social action.

"There are three ways to respond to grief. You can cry, you can be silent, or you can turn your sorrow into a song."
Abraham Heschel
