Spirit Mountain Retreat by Esther Kennedy
Grant Recipient 2009, 2010
 October 28th marked the beginning of the Living through Transition and Loss Program. We learned that human connections are formed through shared story. Together we took the risk to share our stories and our losses, learn of the misconceptions about grief, explore our myriad feelings, appreciate the courage it takes to grieve our losses, and experience genuine care and support from one another.
Our last session was December 9th. A final reflection I offer is that I believe we lived the words written by Stephen Levine and found them to be true. "There are pains that cannot be contained in the mind - only in the heart."
We shared quite deeply and honored the journey that each of us is on. We did open our hearts to one another and there found great love and compassion.

ICRC Community Arts Project by Judith Schonebaum
Grant Recipient 2010
 With the Idyllwild Community Fund "starter grant" we have been able to purchase basic staples for our Community Arts Project: tables to work on, stools to sit on, and baskets to hold art supplies for our adult art classes. Our first class was a gourd making class held at the "Art Pad" on the Idyllwild Community Center property.
