Community. Healing. Resources. January 6, 2022 | Volume 93

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.  ― Henri Bergson Saying Goodbye & Welcome At the beginning of December we shared that our Administrative Coordinator, Laura Nelson, would be leaving Pathways as we transitioned into 2022. Friday, January 7 is Laura's last day. We are so grateful for 4 and a half beautiful years together and wish her many blessings on her journey! Thank you, Laura, we will miss you! At the same time, we want to warmly and enthusiastically welcome our new Administrative Coordinator, Venecia Mitchell, who starts today! We will officially introduce Venecia once she's had a chance to settle in a bit. Welcome, Venecia, we're thrilled you're joining us!

Upcoming Special Program:

We Belong to the Earth: A Conversation about Natural Burial (Virtual)

with Marilaurice Hemlock & Anne Archbold Monday, February 7, 2022 6:30 - 8:15 pm on Zoom Natural, or “green”, burial offers a way for the environmentally conscious to ensure that care of their body after death can continue to conserve natural resources, reduce carbon emissions, protect worker health, and preserve habitat. As death care workers, Anne Archbold and Marilaurice Hemlock accompany individuals and families as they think about, discuss and document what they want to happen to their bodies after they die. We invite you to come learn about their work and how these after-death choices have the potential to fully reflect one’s values.
