Spirituality & Chronic Pain ConversationFacilitated by Helen Tervo & Jeanne Forte - Saturday, April 25, 2026 Chronic pain disrupts every aspect of a person’s life. We often focus on the physical, in hopes that a cure may be found. In the meantime, we become limited in the things that give us joy. Our time together is an opportunity to explore the cost of chronic pain, to sit with our grief over losses, and to be with each other. We’re not looking for cures, only the miracle to carry on. This group welcomes pain bearers, care givers and hope searchers. For more infomation visit: http://st-dunstans.ca/events/spirituality-chronic-pain-conversation/2026-04-25
