Finding Joy Within Grief
October 5, 2023, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area to offer Reading and Discussion,
Finding Joy Within Grief,
with poet Sarah Carlson.
Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area is hosting a reading and discussion workshop, Finding Joy Within Grief, with poet Sarah Carlson. The workshop will be held Thursday, October 5 from 6:00-7:30pm. Sarah brings several of her passions together - writing, teaching, the power of pausing, connection to the natural world and to others. She will weave together photographs and poems that represent the way joy can and will find a place in the process of grieving and adjusting to change. Along the way, opportunities for listeners to reflect and share will be provided. This can also be a time to simply listen, connect, and enjoy the moments. She will have two of her books available for sale - In the Currents of Quiet and Tender Light Softens. Sarah Carlson is an educator and poet from Farmington, Maine. She published The Radiance of Change in 2018, In the Currents of Quiet in 2020, and Tender Light Softens: When the Deep Places Speak in October of 2022. Her books are collections of poems, each paired with nature photography. In her writing process the imagery and images seem to find each other and, together, capture moments of grace, joy, love, and healing that are profoundly relatable.
The workshop will be held at the Hospice Community Center, 304 Main St., Waterville. For more information or to register, contact Jillian Roy at 873-3615 ext.11 or jroy@hvwa.org.
