communion, opportunities to name personal grief, and a gentle reminder that even in the darkest night,
hope can still shine.

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting
December 10, 2023 at 7:00 PM Local Time
On the second Sunday in December, the Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting brings together
family and friends from all around the world to light candles for an hour to remember the sons, daughters,
siblings, sisters, and grandchildren who left this world too soon. On December 10, 2023 at 7:00 PM local time, thousands of people will light candles in remembrance of all the children who passed away too soon. The annual Worldwide Candle Lighting (WCL), a gift from The Compassionate Friends to the mourning community, is now regarded as the largest mass candle lighting on the planet. As it travels from time zone to time zone, it produces
a virtual 24-hour wave of light. TCF's WCL began in the United States in 1997 as a modest internet observance
and has since grown in popularity as word of the memorialization traveled throughout the world. Families
​come together in quiet commemoration of children who have died and will never be ​forgotten as thousands of informal candle lightings take place in homes as well as hundreds of formal candle lighting ceremonies.

Kwanzaa December 26, 2022 to January 1, 2023
Kwanzaa
December 26, 2022 to January 1, 2023
Kwanzaa is a seven-day, non-religious celebration honoring African heritage in African American culture and takes place from December 26
th to January 1st. 
The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning "first fruits of the harvest." During the week of Kwanzaa, families and communities come together to share a feast, to honor the ancestors, affirm the bonds between them, and to celebrate African and African American culture. Each day they light a candle to highlight the principle of that day and to breathe meaning into the principles with various activities, such as reciting the sayings or writings of great black thinkers and writers, reciting original poetry, African drumming, and sharing a meal of African diaspora-inspired foods. The table is decorated with the essential symbols of Kwanzaa. All Seven Principles of Kwanzaa are inspiring, uplifting, positive, and centered on traditions of the African harvest season.
1. Umoja: Unity - To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
2. Kujichagulia: Self-Determination - To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves,
and speak for ourselves.

3. Ujima: Collective Work and Responsibility - To build and maintain our community together and make
our brothers' and sisters' problems our ​problems and solve them together.

4. Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics - To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses
and to profit from them together.

5. Nia: Purpose - To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order
to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

6. Kuumba: Creativity - To always do as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our
community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

7. Imani: Faith - To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders,
​and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Let the light of Kwanzaa bring peace to your heart & home.

The Holiday Grief: Coping With Loss During The Holiday Season  Nov 17th, Dec 1st & Dec 15th, 2022, at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET
The Holiday Grief: Coping With Loss During The Holiday Season 
Nov 17th, Dec 1st & Dec 15th, 2022, at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET

The holidays are here and it can be a challenging time for anyone who is grieving—whether your loss is
recent or occurred years ago, this time of year can bring up feelings of sadness, anxiety, and stress. 
Navigating complicated family dynamics, memories of years past, and current expectations can be
overwhelming. 
Getting support through this season is important for all of us. Join therapist Claire Bidwell Smith and three of her colleagues to learn more about why the holidays are so hard, gain valuable coping tools,
​and share your loss with others who are grieving. 
The Holiday Grief: Coping With Loss During The Holiday
​Season virtual support program is open to anyone seeking grief support during the holiday season.

The program is three sessions: Nov 17th, Dec 1st & Dec 15th, 2022, at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET.
