_____________________________
Grief can be a painful and lonely journey. At the same time, grief offers us the opportunity to connect more intimately to ourselves, our communities, and the profound teachings of loss.
On Sunday, July 2nd, join grief counselors and mindfulness and meditation teachers Brian Stefan and Karen Cryer for a shared exploration of grief in a safe, supportive group setting.
The Grief Journey
Most of us know it’s unhelpful to avoid or suppress our experience with grief. But we may not know how to best acknowledge and embrace grief as a natural and necessary process. It’s common to wonder if we’re doing it ‘right.’
Mindfulness, movement, and community are supportive for grief because they assist us in being present with this moment. By learning to recognize how grief shows up in our mind, body, and heart, we can soften to pain instead of feeling defeated by it.
Who is this half-day retreat for?
This half-day retreat is for anyone who is ready to experience grief not only through the lens of loss, but as a journey with great meaning and purpose.
Everyone is welcome to join, including beginners. The mindfulness, meditation and movement practices on this retreat will be suitable for all levels.
Where is this retreat located?
This event will take place in-person at the Benedict Canyon Retreat House. Find directions, information on what to bring and more on this link.
