“Self Soothing and Social Compassion”
Because the First Existentialist Congregation has temporarily suspended our Sunday services, our Celebrations of Life, effective March 13, Franklin has graciously given his talk, “Self Soothing and Social Compassion” on Facebook Live and may be viewed again at: https://www.facebook.com/counselingandcreativecoaching/videos/345366846377505/
Franklin Abbott has been a practicing psychotherapist in Atlanta for nearly forty years. He is also a poet, musician, community organizer and amateur oral historian. His connection to the Congregation and Old Stone Church goes back more than 40 years to early urban radical faery gatherings held in the sanctuary before First E became its steward. He has spoken at First E many times, performed music and poetry there, and coordinated events and memorials.
