What Hurts?
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
March 19, 2023
Rev. Jan Onnie
Join us as Rev. Jan points the way to turn our interpersonal vulnerabilities into strengths. Much of what shapes our responses to matters large and small are unresolved hurt feelings. Sharing them makes us vulnerable. A community of non-judgmental listeners can help us learn to trust that we will be heard, although not necessarily healed. Through this process we can turn our vulnerability into the strength to own our scars and find common experiences with others unlike ourselves.
Greeting Gail Johnson Vaughan
