Healing Grief and Loss Program
Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30pm EST
May 1-May 22
If you’re grieving, you might feel alone, devastated, numb, or in shock. I’ve felt this way too, and I know how important it is to find resources and learn tools to support yourself with wisdom and kindness. This is why I’m offering this four-week course, to help you normalize and rehumanize your grief. The truth of life is that each of us will encounter death and change, and it’s possible develop the skills and heart to meet these experiences with patience, kindness, and clarity, without becoming overwhelmed or frustrated with yourself or others.
You’ll learn to bring kindness and care to your body, mind, and spirit with traditional Buddhist practices, modern therapeutic tools, compassionate listening and friendship. Re-discover your inherent compassion and good sense to support yourself and those closest to you who are going through the pain and sadness of grief. In small group interactive Zoom meetings you’ll learn to:
Strengthen your self-awareness and self-acceptance
Meet difficult emotions with kindness
Discover and learn to rely upon your constructive emotional resources
Create healthy relationships and boundaries
Discern options and make wise choices
Develop gratitude and appreciation for your precious human life and your loss
Schedule

Wednesdays 7:00-8:30pm EST
May 1, 8, 15, 22
Course Information
The program is for anyone who is struggling with the loss of someone close to them—a friend, sibling, spouse, parent, grandparent, relative, colleague, or pet. Those experiencing anticipatory grief—if someone you love is dying right now—you are also welcome. Though we will use Buddhist contemplative practices, the course is not religious and is accessible and useful for anyone.
This program will have a minimum of six participants, and a maximum of twenty. If you’re interested in joining, please sign up soon.
We’ll be using exercises from my book, Navigating Grief and Loss: 25 Buddhist Practices to Open Your Heart to Yourself and Others. You can order a copy here if you like, but it is not mandatory for the course.
