Creating Space for Grief

I wonder if that ‘turning away’ comes from being in a place that denies death on such a fundamental level. I wonder if we create our own space to turn toward death together, we can be more supported and accepted through our grief and other ‘dark’ times, and in turn be more supporting and accepting of others. The number of us connecting through Reimagine is proving that we’re ready for a cultural change re: death, and gives me hope that we are each creating ripple effects in our own communities.

This workshop includes allotted time to share experiences of grief. This grief may be for a loved one, a relationship, an illness, or any kind of loss you have experienced or are experiencing. As part of that sharing, you are invited to bring an object that represents your grief, if you like.

This workshop is offered as a drop-in or at a discounted rate as part of our Journey with Death Weekly Series
