Betsy Rose has long used her music to express her deepest experiences, and has sung for others in order to open their hearts. So it was only natural that the loss of her father inspired her to create and compile songs she wrote for comfort in her own losses. A prolific recording artist and performer, her latest recording, Long for This World soothes and comforts in hard times of loss. Betsy now adds death and grief work to all her other accomplishments, which include singing at conferences and lending her voice to peace and social justice movements, and singing for leaders such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Matthew Fox, and Joanna Macy. brbr How has loss impacted Betsy's work, both early in her life and up until now? What thread of compassion developed out of exploring her own mourning? Join us for conversation and music as we near the heart of winter, that time of darkness before new life.
