Fall is a season of change, harvest & preparation, a time to notice what we have gathered, what we want to nurture, and what might sustain us through the months ahead. In this fall series, we’ll talk about the people, places, memories, routines, pleasures, and relationships that nourish us; what we’re learning about ourselves as our lives change; where we’re finding joy, gratitude, comfort, and connection; and what we want to carry forward or perhaps let go.

There is no set agenda from week to week. We’ll use the season as a starting point and make room for whatever is happening in our lives now: the ordinary, the difficult, the funny, the meaningful, and everything in between.
