sadness moves us toward each other (a living room picnic)
on Monday, 02-May from 7:30-8:30pm EDT
Our exploration of emotions continues - next up is sadness.
As someone who was taught (and I don’t know by whom specifically because it was in the air, and the air was everywhere) that you don’t show up with anything less than pleasant-faced readiness. You’re in a good mood, look good and already know the answers, but at a minimum, you’re not leaking feelings all over the place, especially not “negative” emotions or signs of weakness - of mind, body or capacity —
sadness is not something I’ve thought about much, or let myself feel, admit to, or openly express.
Until recently.
How about you?
Do you have personal practices around sadness? Or perhaps, an ongoing history and relationship with sadness? Sad songs? Sad movies?
Embracing sadness, facing sadness, embodying sadness (vs ducking it) is a new one for me. I hadn’t considered the value of sadness.
And it’s got me wondering about what it’s been like for you, and also what it could be like for any and all of us, if so-called "negative emotions”, like sadness, were normalized as friendly presences.
… let’s talk 
You don’t need to be in a sad mood to attend. All your moods are welcome.
