Connect and Uplift: A Response to COVID-19

If you are yearning for more comfort, guidance, and inspiration during this global pandemic, you are not alone. All of us are sharing in collective uncertainty. Euphrates’s offering is to inspire each of us to choose peace and to encourage our fellow brothers and sisters to do the same. Our inextricable connection is evident now more than ever. Let us embrace each other in this sacred Oneness. We will choose connection, not isolation and rise from this with greater strength and compassion. As we look for ways to support our community, we are also looking for support for ourselves. We thank Euphrates’s community partners in sharing such resources.
