Imagine the dawn: the first light of morning, a threshold hour that had to pass through the dark before it could arise. We’re halfway through our 2026 CTL Fall Forum, and you are invited into this mo(u)rning’s griefweaving session to notice how grief can be held in new forms.

This session will feature facilitators and members of the Course-Based Civic Engagement Faculty Learning Community in conversation about the work done so far in the FLC and around the Institute. They will discuss their experiences and the challenges and questions that arise in this kind of work, and will invite participants to join in the conversation in order to further demystify the process.
