WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Quite naturally, our lives are greatly enriched by the ideals, possessions, activities, and loved ones that we hold dear.  The world around us teaches us to treasure these, and to fight to the bitter end to keep them. Yet throughout our lives, we are confronted with losses both small and large. Aren’t we always losing something: our youth, our loved ones, our jobs, our car keys? It takes courage and effort to grieve, to honor the pain we carry – particularly in a fast-paced world that encourages us to disregard our losses.

In this 1-day workshop, we will attend to our grief through meditation, writing, lectures & discussion, experiential exercises, and an atmosphere of support. Our unique model of bereavement care uses Buddhist principles for calming the mind, balancing the emotions, and attending to the present moment.

All who grieve any type of loss (the death of a loved one, an accumulation of relationship transitions, the loss of a job, ability, or identity), as well as bereavement professionals, are invited to take refuge in this workshop.
