About the event

Interfaith Book Group: The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr
Join us in person if you like on Wednesday at Scholastica Healing Center as we live stream this Zoom study in community. Snacks included 😀

“Lament is the proper response to deep loss and suffering. It is not a sign of weakness or failure but a form of strength—an act of honesty and courage that opens the door to healing and transformation.” ~Richard Rohr

During this study we will explore:
• The Necessity of Lament and Mourning
• Melancholy as a Spiritual Condition
• Lament as a Path to Transformation
• Hope Rooted in Reality
• Community and Shared Grief
• Critique of Modernity and Western Disenchantment

Lets read and discuss using Rohr’s characteristic contemplative style, blending theology, spirituality, psychology, and cultural critique. His book draws heavily on:

• Biblical texts of lament (Psalms of lament, Lamentations)
• Christian mystics and saints
• Contemporary reflections; personal anecdotes and pastoral wisdom

All faith traditions are welcome!
