Devastating news alerts can feel like a weekly occurrence. How do we cope? Our speaker, Meg McGuire, will reflect on how grief can be a healthy response to the day-to-day experience of being alive in these times. How can opening ourselves up to grief in community ground and sustain us and our struggles for justice?

Meg McGuire is a rising third-year Masters of Divinity student at Starr King School for the Ministry, where she serves as a student representative to the Starr King Board of Trustees and is one of this year’s Hilda Mason Teaching Fellows. She is a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, which has long inspired her commitments to social justice work and love of spiritual community. Prior to discerning a call to ministry, she spent five years working as a labor organizer with hotel and restaurant workers in New York City and endeavors to integrate her background in organizing and economic justice work into her ministerial formation. Meg holds an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Wesleyan University and a certificate in Justice Ministry Education from Auburn Seminary.
