Learn about the emotional pain of grief by way of tactile activities to process and let go of difficult moments and feelings. While building a sense of community, the journey becomes finding moments of ease and glimpses of the beauty that can surface.

Joyful Grief & Loss Classes: Grief & The Box

Amy Oledzki on December 21, 2023

Join us for moments of grace and gratitude by creating a box of cherished items.  Grief creates a feeling of being out of control and by giving attention to symbolic expression, our feelings and thoughts become easier to share with others. This class provides a place for exploration of your identity with grief; as with loss comes a sense of “Who Am I.”
