Circle of Care
This Holding Space + Covid-19 Circle of Care is open to all.
We gather for weekly interviews with wise ones who offer insight, guidance, questions, humor, and love at this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. We gather to reflect upon topics relating to health, wellbeing, social justice, birth/death, and mindful living, relationships, parenting etc. as we navigate this time.
Recordings of past webinars are shared on this page with the intention to nourish, strengthen, and support all ~ both individually and collectively ~ through this difficult time.
We gather to learn, grow, and share wisdom.
Share the news of this Circle of Care.
This Institute program is funded solely by donations, both large and small.
Description

we can be certain that love is our source and guide.

We are in this together.
Amy Wright Glenn, founder of the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death leads weekly webinars to strengthen and nourish all who are called to hold space in the age of Covid-19.
