Talking about grief is talking about love because without love, there would be no grief. Coming together in the face of loss to tell our stories can be a deep and healing experience.
"Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve." - Earl Grollman

Living with Loss: A Gathering for the Grieving is a small group experience where we explore how ritual, connection, and community help us through times of loss.

BACII creator, Mangda Sengvanhpheng, joins us for an experiential online workshop designed to holistically guide us through all forms of loss, grief, and the end-of-life with an art activity. The purpose of this workshop is to mindfully connect us to the cycles of life in order to renew and deepen our experience of being alive. 

Join Reimagine and Evermore for an hour and a half of poetry, writing, conversation, and connection. Poets James Crews and Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer provide a virtual refuge for people who have lost a mother/mother figure or a child.

Grief is a journey to be shared, and this monthly circle is a space for remembering, honoring, and finding comfort in community. Whether through photos, stories, or cherished heirlooms, we invite you to bring your memories into a space of connection and support.

Join facilitators Stuart and Cierra in the exploration of narrative – how we choose to tell our grief story, in various settings, and how we can gain a sense of control, remembrance and create legacy through use of the written word.

As someone intimately acquainted with the place of Grief in my life I invite you to work with me to find the key to regaining peace, purpose and, yes, even JOY after loss. Not sure how? Let's talk! This workshop is an introduction to the way we are created to process Grief as a natural, sacred part of life. Just me and you, friends. You can come anonymously if you wish or you can be prepared to volunteer to work through one of your feelings around your Grief experience. You may also be surprised at how watching others can help you with your own situation. Grief may be as "unique as a fingerprint" (David Keller in "On Grief and Grieving") but the way through it is the same for all of us.

Through our lives we meet many changes carrying with them an ending that always leads to creating a new beginning. When the loss of a loved one is one of those intersections that disrupts our lives and necessitates change, we may struggle with the new labels we are given such as widow, grieving grandparent, or survivor. We are challenged by uncertainty. Plans, assumptions, long-held hopes and dreams may be shattered. In this session, we will explore the resiliency we acquire that can bring us through our evolving lives. The more we are aware of our losses and our gains, the more prepared we can be for the uncertainty of the future and our story of who we are becoming because of our loss.
