As we move into the dark half of the year, we’ll move to the music of Leonard Cohen.
Leonard Cohen offers insights for thriving in a world of darkness. Through vivid imagery and beautiful music, we will explore relationships, politics and spirituality, finding the crack where the light shines through.
Special guests, Kerry Burke and Matthew van der Giessen who have regularly offered concerts of the music and poetry of Leonard Cohen at North Shore Unitarian will treat us to some songs and stories.
