LEWISTON — How to heal after an unexpected tragedy will be explored at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 7, at Lifetree Café, South Lewiston Baptist Church, 1919 Lisbon Road.

The program, “The Art of Loss: How Tragedy Can Transform Your Perspective,” features filmed interviews with two young artists who experienced the loss of a loved one. Both artists coped through their art.

“For me, painting is a documentation of a moment. It’s as if the painting understands me,” one of the artists says. “When I couldn’t find words, or words weren’t big enough, a canvas or a piece of Masonite was able to relate to me and process things for me.”

During the program, Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to consider times they have experienced loss and how they responded.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.
