Get Warm WEDNESDAYs: naming your lineage
When life gets hard, equally emphasizing our material and nonmaterial needs can become especially difficult. However, when we see ourselves as part of a larger tradition, it can often give us the strength to maintain our commitments in hard times.
To support you in naming the traditions you belong to, VOL will take you through a 90-minute process where you will see and name your lineage. Knowing this lineage can equip you with the resilience and inner strength needed to exist differently in even the hardest circumstances.
