Hello Pathways Community-
My words to you certainly arrive through a different lens than just a few weeks ago. The world has changed dramatically and, with that, comes many fears. One of the largest I have observed, and truthfully, have felt personally, is fear of the unknown and uncertainty around what lies ahead.
“What will happen…?”…”How should we….?”….”When can we ….?”..all of these are questions are without long-term answers since what we envision today may have a different answer and outlook tomorrow.
While we listen, contemplate and attempt to process all that barrages us from the external world, Pathways will maintain and continue its focus on seeking to strengthen mind, body and spirit - even more important in today’s trying times.
Guiding participants towards discovering their own innate capacity to heal may not be achievable in-person in the short term; however, we plan to keep the Pathways community flame lit in several ways:
- This week, we release our 3rd edition of Community. Healing. Resources., a newsletter offering a variety of inspirational, self-care and educational tools.
- We hope to soon make available an online scheduling system, pulling together programming and services offered by many of our Pathways providers. We will let you know as we approach a planned launch date.
After closing 20 days ago, these are a few of the works in motion to help ensure our focus on providing care for our participant and volunteer community.
You’ve often heard the phrase ‘
Home is where the heart
is
', defined in part as, ‘
wherever you are and whoever you are with or in contact with, your home, your friends, your community, your family provide the greatest emotional bond
.’ While the current crisis directs us to interact with you in a different way, Pathways will continue to offer our heartfelt support to all of you - our Pathways community. You are our family and we will continue to be a home for you.
Take care and be well,
Tim
