Giving Language to Grief and Loss
In this daylong retreat we will explore ways in which we can cope with loss in our daily lives. Grief and loss can enter our lives suddenly or gradually in many different forms such as: death of a loved one, illness, major life changes, job loss or retirement. Through meditation, visualization, writing, conversation, and council practice we will explore the ways in which loss impacts our life. We will work individually and as a group to discuss openly and honestly how to identify our feelings and communicate them to ourselves and others.
