Hallowe’en comes from the pagan holiday of Samhain – a time when the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead was unusually thin. This time of year calls for courage, the courage to face the unknown.
Fortunately, October brings gifts of magic that help us to be brave.
Join Reilly for a reflection on how we can deepen our courageousness now, when it is needed more than ever.

She received her MDiv from the University of Toronto (graduating with the prize for Highest Standing), and completed her chaplaincy training (CPE Basic) at Victoria General Hospital. Her ministry work focuses on the twin challenges of spiritual resilience and systems change in the face of the polycrisis, the interlocking crisis of crises that defines our time.
