Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the book launch of Tears Become Rain: Stories of Transformation and Healing Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh on October 10th, 2023.
Contributing authors from 16 different countries gathered together on Zoom to discuss their experience with Tears Become Rain. Breakout groups corresponded to each section of the book:
– The Power of Community and Belonging
– Interbeing: We Are One
– Coming Home to Ourselves
– Reconciliation: Coming Back to Each Other
– Facing Fear
– Loss and Grief
– Being Here Now: The Wonders of the Present Moment
In these breakout groups, authors read excerpts of their stories and, as time allowed, answered questions and enjoyed discussion with attendees. This time was an opportunity to be with others from around the world and recognize our connection.
Tears Become Rain is a compilation of 32 poignant stories by authors in 16 different countries who navigate the joys and sorrows of life in a way that inspires hope.
There is wisdom and inspiration for everyone with themes such as belonging, community, grief, loss and death, reconciliation, and finding a sense of home right in this moment just as we are.
Tears Become Rain is available now for purchase wherever books are sold. All proceeds are donated to the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation!
