Hello all –
We're each getting settled into our new routines of working from home and meeting as a staff every morning via Zoom (pictured here). These daily check-ins serve as an effective way to keep the business of Pathways moving forward – believe it or not, we're busier than ever! Our daily meetings also provide a degree of normalcy in very uncertain and abnormal times. At Pathways, we often talk about learning to navigate 'a new normal' due to illness, caregiving and life transitions. The current climate provides an opportunity, as a staff, to practice what so many of our courageous participants are accustomed to doing every day. Our participants guide and inspire both the work that we're doing and the creative ways in which we're doing it in these changing times.
As mentioned in previous editions of our newsletter, we are in the process of trying to establish online versions of a number of our regular sessions. Quite a few providers have already expressed interest in being a part of these new off-site offerings. We are currently working on exploring platforms, developing a process for this new venture as well as creating timelines to train and implement. It may be several weeks before we get things underway, but know we are working on it. We promise to update you on these new avenues once they are ready to go! Until then, we hope you continue to explore the resource links in these newsletters as they offer useful information and helpful healing opportunities.
Finally, we hope you enjoy this special edition of our newsletter which offers an Arts and Culture focus. In times of change, it's often the artists who provide our inspiration and strength as well translate the moment in a way that allows for deeper meaning and understanding to emerge.
Thank you all for being a part of this amazing community.
Tim, Erica, Dan and Laura
