Staying Whole in Hard Times
Emily Hedrick
In a time of relentless news, political cruelty, and collective anxiety, many of us feel pulled apart—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This service explores resilience not as toughness or optimism, but as wholeness: the capacity to stay present, connected, and responsive even under pressure. Drawing on trauma-informed wisdom, spiritual tradition, and movements of resistance, we will reflect on how communities help one another remain whole when the time we're living through makes it difficult.
Emily is a member of All Souls who is fascinated by trauma, resilience, communal singing, and what it means to be alive in this time together. She's a chaplain at South Shore Hospital and former Mennonite pastor now pursuing ordination as a UU minister in large part because of the hopeful experiences she's had as part of All Souls. She’s grateful to be part of a community willing to ask how we stay whole together when things are difficult
