Hey y’all!

It’s Carmen here. During this month’s gathering of the Hatch, our virtual hour for paid subscribers, we read a poem by Eavan Boland, reflected on the Buddhist concept of tonglen, and went through a guided meditation to awaken compassion.

But rather than just giving you a written recap, we’re doing something a little different this month. Below, you’ll find a video replay of the hour, along with the reading and prompts. If you watch it and spend the hour journaling, will you leave a comment and let us know how it went? It’ll help us know if this is something we should do again!

Many thanks and much love,

Carmen
