Beyond the Grief Workshop – Denver
For people at least one year out from their loss, join us in a space of holding both gratitude and grief, pain and purpose. The space we will share honors that we do not have to stay in the deepest spaces of grief forever, but that we integrate it and remember and honor our loved ones in life going forward. In the midst of the holiday season, the ability to feel a sense of enjoyment is often accompanied by guilt for seemingly “stepping out of” our grief. Amanda will guide you through the use of various self-care approaches including writing/journaling, EFT Tapping, and more. Cost: $35, includes light refreshments. Registration is required.
when: Wed. Dec 4 from 6-8:00pm at HeartLight Center
Open heART Studio for the Holidays – Denver
We invite you to share in creative space to help explore and connect about grief. In this class, participants will choose from a wide range of branches as the start of the Nature Mobile creation. We will construct functional mobiles or wall hangings using the branch with items such as twine, yarn, cording, ribbons etc. We will attach paper, found objects, memorabilia, charms, etc. or a combination of the above to create a balanced mobile that can be used as a memorial to your person, or a tribute to the holidays, or to honor you and your grief as a whole. As a group we will share our grief and discover how a clear focus on your project will assist you on your journey. Art can be very therapeutic and instrumental in the healing process.
HeartLight Center will provide supplies that you can use to create, and you are welcomed and encouraged to also bring pictures, items or specific supplies to use during this class. No past art experience required.
