Other Events Connected to the Shrine
There are times in life when we are asked to meet what feels too much - grief, uncertainty, pain, or the quiet weight of what we carry alone.
And yet, alongside this, there is also love.
Where love meets what is hardest to hold. Come and join this Way of Council weekend held at the Julian Shrine.
