Befriending Death & Uncertainty: A Presentation

This presentation to the Unitarian Universalists of Grants Pass, Oregon came just a day before we were asked to Shelter-in-Place. It was the first Zoom presentation in our community and the first service held in an empty sanctuary. We scrambled to make the Loss to Legacy Book Talk relevant to the moment.

Spirit of Resh Foundation founder, Lily Myers Kaplan talks about the coronavirus as an initiation for our culture. She emphasizes the need for metaphorical death before rebirth or a phoenix is able to rise from the ashes. Lily suggests that we consider what covid is asking of us. It’s an inspirational message encouraging us to befriend the deaths we are facing as a culture and as a people. Many have said how much it helped them and set an important context for the coming months. We hope it touches a chord in you, too.
