Come to a cozy environment and leave the dishes and worries about cooking at home. We will serve comforting food and create a space for sharing experiences, meals, and beverages. This gathering is open to all adults (18+) who have experienced the loss of a loved one – regardless of the circumstances or relationship – or are navigating serious illness and anticipatory grief. While bringing a dish is not required or expected, you are welcome to contribute if it feeds your wellbeing. Through the act of sharing a meal, we aim to nourish both our bodies and hearts with mutual support. In partnership with Bosque Trails Hospice. Special guest Monica Delgado Vargas, PhD and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Practitioner, will provide a brief demonstration of tapping and discuss how it can be helpful when in grief.

Beyond the Grief Workshop – Denver
Please 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. As we step into a new year with grief, the ability to feel a sense of enjoyment is often accompanied by guilt for seemingly “stepping out of” our grief. Learn more about self-care techniques to help navigate the highs and lows of the grief journey. 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.
NEW DATE: Wed. Feb. 12th from 6-8:00pm at HeartLight Center
