Apprenticing Ourselves to the Unknown: A Six-Part Series on the Skill of Grieving

This series is intended for those who find themselves grieving in a culture that doesn’t quite know how to hold them as they work through their transformation. Whether death, terminal illness, or the permanent loss of a faculty was the catalyst for your process, you are welcome. This course synthesizes education, emotional processing, somatic contemplation, and community-building. Together we will turn toward the wise, if challenging, ways of Grief and courageously, patiently engage our experience of transience and loss. Whether in person or online, all cohorts will be limited to eight participants (excluding the facilitator) in order to facilitate trust and intimacy, and to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.
