Join us for an afternoon of dialogue, community, and ritual with author and soul activist, Francis Weller, and host of the All There Is podcast and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. We will gather on the sacred grounds of Commonweal, a site of healing and cultural renewal for fifty years.* This is a fundraiser for Commonweal Cancer Help Program.

The day will include a conversation between Francis and Anderson, a time for questions, a simple communal grief ritual, and closing thoughts. Together we will explore the central work of grief, loss, and community in tenuous times.
