During this day we will support each other to open to love, wisdom and the other qualities of the heart that dissolve our suffering and confusion. By learning this practice together we give and receive the greatest of blessings; spiritual friendship. As Survivors of trauma it is important for us to know we can create a safe space and give voice to how the day unfolds so there will be many opportunities to check in and receive support.
