Michelle Cassandra Johnson joins @BanyenBooksSoundVancouver for a conversation on Finding Refuge: Heart Work for Healing Collective Grief. https://banyen.com/item/Hteb-YuoBP8oQ...

Michelle Cassandra Johnson offers those who feel brokenhearted, helpless, confused, powerless and desperate the tools they need to be present with their grief while also remaining openhearted. Through powerful personal narrative and meditation and journaling practices Michelle helps us explore being present with our heart, and empowers us to see that each of us has a role to play in building the momentum needed to take intentional action and shift what is unsettled and unjust in the world. Finding Refuge is an invitation to pick up the shattered parts of ourselves and remember our strength, wholeness, and sacredness through this practice of presence and attending to our grief.

“Finally, a skillful, actionable resource that addresses healing beyond merely the individual and recognizes the necessity of addressing the grief that results from impact of social and collective trauma. Finding Refuge is an essential offering for these times.”
—Angel Kyodo Williams

“Perhaps the greatest task for us in this new era is the work of allowing our hearts to break. Finding Refuge is a gift to anyone lost in sorrow.”
—Lama Rod Owens
