Together we create a safe space for listening to messages from our inner experience.  \n\n\n\nOur healing circles are a safe and supportive space to walk with each other through these times. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence\, compassion\, and curiosity. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others. \n\n\n\nTo register for this program through Healing Circles Global\, please click \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome Assumptions about Grief\n\n\n\n\nThe experience of grief is unique for each individual. While we can make some general assumptions\, there is no template that describes the experience for all people.\n\n\n\nGrief is cumulative. That is\, each time loss is grieved\, the grief encompasses the lifetime of loss and the remnants of each experience.\n\n\n\nGrief following a significant loss is most often a lifelong process\, with each pivotal point in life bringing the grief back up to be processed from a new perspective.\n\n\n\nGrief\, loss and suffering fundamentally changes and reshapes the individual.\n\n\n\nGrief is not about forgetting or disconnecting. Rather\, healthy grief is about remembering the parts of self that get lost amidst the experience and reorienting the individual in their relationship with self\, the world and others.\n\n\n\nGrief is a whole body experience: emotional\, physical\, spiritual and intellectual. Each have a wide range of expression which can cue us that grief is present.\n\n\n\nWhile grief and trauma are often intertwined there are significant differences between them. Trauma should be addressed with trauma specific interventions that often go beyond what is possible in circles.\n\n\n\n\nAdapted from Khris Ford \n\n\n\nGrieving Together Healing Circle will meet Weekly on Thursdays from 1:00-2:30pm ET from June 25 – July 30 \n\n\n\nGrief Circle Dates: \n\n\n\n\nJune 25\n\n\n\nJuly 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 & 30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Grief Team Healing Circle Host \, \n Mark Malinak\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Healing Circle Host \, \n Lisa Rice\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/grieving-together-a-6-week-series-2/ CATEGORIES:Healing Circles,Grief Support ORGANIZER;CN="Healing Circles Global":MAILTO:registrar@healingcirclesglobal.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
