THE GIFTS OF GRIEF: GRIEF AS SACRED WORK
Are you feeling overwhelmed by a personal loss? Are you feeling anxious about the uncertainties of our global crises? These experiences need not result in despair or helplessness. We may resist grieving due to fears of getting stuck in our emotional pain. We might resign ourselves to "time heals all wounds”. Many people do.
In a supportive community, the experience of grieving can be made conscious and empowering. We can intentionally open to the unexpected gifts of meaning, joy, and purpose inherent in what we most dread.
We invite you to become part of an exploration of community grieving. Together we will delve deeper into what particular aspects of grief are heartbreaking to each of us. Throughout, we will learn to involve nature in our healing process, as well as share deeply our grief within the container of everyone’s support.
This weekend will be facilitated by Jan Rice Chapman Ph.D. and Terry Chapman D. Min. Jan is a psychotherapist in private practice for more than 30 years.. Her specialty is in Somatic modalities to work with trauma. Terry is a Pastor and Spiritual Director with over 30 years of walking with people through life's transitions. As experienced retreat leaders Jan and Terry weave together the processes of grieving into a beautiful communal tapestry of healing and transformation.
If you feel you could benefit from this experience, please contact Terry Chapman at: terrychapman@me.com He will be glad to answer any questions. Please forward this to anyone who you feel might also be interested.
Details will be forthcoming.
