On Sunday, November 16, TRUU Community Steward Paul Dankers will reflect on how moments of loss, from the everyday to the profound, can become invitations to gratitude. Drawing from a deeply personal story of his first psilocybin experience and the surprising lessons found in both ordinary objects and popular culture, Paul explores how practicing gratitude in life’s small endings helps prepare us for larger farewells. Together, we’ll consider how grief and gratitude are woven inseparably, and how opening ourselves to both can transform the way we live — and the way we face life’s final chapters. Please note: this reflection includes discussion of psychedelics and may not be suitable for young children. As always, we offer engaging, age-appropriate programming for children in a separate space.
