Love in a Time of Coronavirus

As a Friend who, early on, took the leap of faith into the AIDs epidemic, John Calvi has navigated the dance between hope and fear while ministering to the cared for and the caregivers. While the AIDS epidemic and the current COVID-19 pandemic are quite different in many respects, John’s wisdom about love and faith in a time of a health crisis with many unknowns may be of help to us all. His new book, How Far Have You Traveled? and his earlier book, The Dance Between Hope and Fear, are available through our online store.

John Calvi has been teaching at Pendle Hill since 1990. He is a popular and trusted leader in the work of healing trauma and restoration after burnout and heartbreak. John will share from his more than 35 years experience of healing in crisis situations.

Dear John- I have spent this very cold and rainy Easter Sunday in Iowa with you via the Pendle Hill YouTube channel. Gratitude wells up and I am left feeling filled with reverence for life. Painful yet always beautiful, as you reflected upon. Thank you so much! Your deep, thoughtful and honest sharing of your experience over many decades of giving healing touch was so valuable to me. Blessings Friend, on your ongoing work! You are contributing to collective healing and to each of us finding our way towards wholeness.

Great to see you John Meyers after all these years. I enjoyed the other John's presentation, but the Q & A was the best and I could have listened to lots more of that. Thank you

Thank you, John. Just listening to you is like a healing. And I could tell that you delved into the medical literature. One slight correction: Iceland study found that 50% of those positive for COVID-19 had no symptoms. I think you said it backwards. Not trying to be picky, but this is a big piece of the information pie. Half of us having it and spreading it would never know.

Thank You, Pendle Hill for hosting this session. <3 Gratitude to everyone involved in the technical aspects of this and to John Calvi for his levelling and factual information about the Covid19 pandemic, the 6 Healing Sayings, being witness to my own and other's Best Self, learning about Reverence as an important anchor during this time of trouble, and the inspiration for looking to do Service at this time in inventive and creative ways. Peace Be, dear Friends. <3
