Grief is a sacred part of all human journeys. When we love, we implicitly agree to experience grief as a form of this love. This short course is for anyone who has experienced a loss, no matter how long ago. Participants will develop an understanding of the grief process through readings on the theory of grief and explorations of the myths of grief. By building a safe and trusting container within the group, each participant can express their unique grief through experiential learning and activities. This course will help participants to meet their own or the grief of others with compassion, acceptance, and resilience.
