YDS Healing Ground
It was a perfect autumn day for the Yale Divinity School (YDS) Living Village Ground Healing Ceremony. IES team member Carlye Woodard was on hand for the well-attended event, which launched the construction phase of this much anticipated project with discussion and questions, prayer and recognition, as well as food and drinks to mark the celebration. YDS Dean Gregory E. Sterling suggested, with a playful nod to Joni Mitchell’s iconic lyrics, that the school is endeavoring to tear up a parking lot and build a paradise.
