A Conversation with Jan Richardson

As someone well acquainted with sorrow following the sudden death of her husband and creative partner, Jan has engaged the chaotic labyrinth of grief as an artist and writer, bringing poetic grace and honesty to the complexities of loss. In this event, we will talk with Jan about the endurance of love, the stubbornness of hope, and the solace of creative practice. Join us for a morning with Jan as she converses with a community member, engages in a Q & A, and shares from her work as part of the invitation to reflect on how we listen our way into our unexpected, unfolding lives.
