Grief can manifest for a number of reasons -- the death of a loved one, loss of a job, a change in status, issues related to personal health and the environment, and more. It can also include numerous emotional components -- sadness, loss, angst, frustration, anger, and despair. How do we deal with these feelings? What sorts of things can we do to stay afloat and/or dive in?

This workshop is an opportunity for individuals to navigate the grieving process in an environment that is both safe and supportive. Elements of philosophy, psychology, yoga/stretching, mindfulness meditation, readings and poetry will be incorporated.
