We all experience loss and grief in life, but most of us are never taught what to do with it. Sometimes we are told to "move on" or "get over it," or sometimes we find it easier to push aside our pain. The truth is, the most effective way to reduce the pain of loss is to face it. This half-day workshop presented by BELOVED Compassion Network will guide you in safely facing your pain and cultivating self-compassion for yourself in this difficult time. Certified Compassion Practice facilitator Nancy Fowler will lead this workshop integrating the contemplative, meditative steps of the Compassion Practice as a way to navigate the grief process, care for yourself as you face your pain, and heal after loss.
