Beloved Friends, I have a dear old (younger than me, but still old) brother who lives in Thailand. When he visits home, he lives on ice cream, which means we ALL live on ice cream! I do believe Ben and Jerry’s is a legit fountain of youth. If you find yourself in the grocery store mesmerized by the flavor options, losing all your hard-earned adult decorum, and ultimately going home with FIVE containers of ice cream, please count that as a big, happy win in life! And, I’m not joking when I say, your chances of impulse buying ice cream increases when you spend more time contemplating and discussing death and dying. It’s a natural equation. Wednesday, May 15th – monthly conversation about Death and Dying – if you are local, you are welcome to join me in my home…or contact me for the unique zoom link – Our time may include: sharing information and resources, meditation and prayer, spiritual teachings on death, end-of-life planning, bereavement support, deepening our understanding and comfort with themes of death and dying – 10 AM Mountain Daylight Time (4 PM UTC) – email Sára for zoom link: rain@trigoddess.org Thursday, May 16th – Githas Class – 7 PM MDT (1 AM Friday UTC) – Zoom Here!

Dear Ones, Wowee-zowee! This here world is a wild and woolly adventure for the spirit!
