"Surrendering reminds me that my way is always inferior to the way of life." --Anna-Zoe Herr

Surrendering and Opening to Hope in Times of Crisis

When Anna-Zoe Herr's father passed four years ago, she grappled with almost unbearable pain and grief and was finding it difficult to find hope. One night, she had a dream in which her father appeared, sitting opposite her. "I came back because you have a question for me," he said. Zoe was taken aback and then said quickly, "Yes, I do.

Taking this injunction to heart, Zoe's path deepened towards love, towards hope and imagination even amidst despair. You can read more about Zoe's journey and her creative endeavors here.
