This series is for anyone navigating grief, loss, or life transitions, and seeking a gentle, creative, community-centered space to process - all types of grief are welcome! This three-week series offers a supportive space to gently explore grief through both guided group processing and hands-on creative practice. Each session is co-facilitated with a therapist and arts educator and integrates reflection, conversation, and craft as pathways toward healing, connection, and transformation. Together, we will move through different layers of grief — how it lives in the body, how it reshapes identity, and how it can evolve into meaning and growth. No prior art experience is needed; this is not about creating something “perfect,” but about engaging in a process that supports expression and integration. Session 1 (4/12): Grief in the Body — What Are You Holding? We’ll explore how grief is carried physically and emotionally, and create a pocket grief altar — a small, personal object to hold what feels present. Session 2 (4/19): Identity After Loss — Who Are You Now? This session focuses on the ways loss can reshape our sense of self. Through the practice of kintsugi (repairing with intention), we’ll reflect on brokenness, continuity, and reimagining identity. Session 3 (4/26): Transformation — Carrying It Forward We’ll explore post-traumatic growth, the evolution of love, and what it means to move forward while still honoring what has been lost. Participants will create a mosaic planter and plant something new — a living symbol of growth and continuation.
