SUMMARY:Pockets of Grace: Reading with Heidi Gessner (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:“Gessner’s highly accessible account of her spiritual awakening and journey into hospital chaplaincy offers insightful lessons for everyone\, those with and without formal religious beliefs. She bravely pursued her path despite the skepticism of her artsy\, intellectual\, and agnostic family and friends. Her perceptions alert us to the meaning and depth available to us all\, even in life’s most quotidian moments—like hearing geese honking as they travel overhead or finding feathers on a path. Her reflection questions at the end of each chapter are little jewels for revelation and personal growth.”\n–Carol Henderson \nJoin author Heidi Gessner in conversation with writer Carol Henderson. \nIn this RCWMS book reading we’ll use Heidi Gessner’s memoir\, Pockets of Grace: Lessons from Darkness\, Lessons from Light\, as a prompt for discussion about the deeply personal nature of our universe. Gessner illustrates how our magical cosmos wants to connect with you and support you. Join us to hear what it has to tell you. \nYou’ll discover how even in turbulent times\, you are never truly alone. There are unseen forces carrying and shaping you\, sending signs – unpredictable coincidences and synchronicities to care for and connect with you. \nAuthor: Heidi Gessner is an ordained United Church of Christ minister\, spiritual counselor\, and grief coach\, who served as the palliative care and bereavement clinical chaplain for UNC Hospitals for nearly 20 years. Heidi is also the author of Pockets of Grace: Lessons from Darkness\, Lessons from Light\, which is both a memoir about her spiritual awakening during her father’s terminal lung cancer\, and a modern-day guide for coping with grief and loss. Heidi is the founder of Indigo Grief Flow: Path to a New Beginning\, her signature system that provides support for individuals navigating loss or in transition. \n  \n \nCost: Free. Registration is required. \nPurchase the book: HERE. \nPlease REGISTER by selecting a free ticket below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
