SUMMARY:Navigating Seasons of Grief & Loss in Fractured Times (Register by 7/17)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dimple Dhabalia\nDate/Time: Saturday\, July 18\, 11am – 12:30pm (online)\nCost: free; donations appreciated\nClass size: 3-20 participants\n(Register by July 17) \nGrief doesn’t just begin and end with death. \nIt also lives in the heartache of caregiving\, illness\, and broken relationships—in the loss of a job\, the loneliness of aging\, the separation from loved ones\, the erosion of freedom\, the degradation of the environment—in all kinds of pain the world rarely stops to honor. And then when grief arrives\, we’re expected to move through it quickly and on our own. \nBut we were never meant to navigate seasons of grief and loss alone. \nOn July 18\, join Dimple Dhabalia\, writer\, author\, and founder of love in action as she launches her first collection of empathy cards\, seasons of grief + loss\, for a conversation about grief\, rituals\, and restoring the language of empathy and connection. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public\, but you must register in advance to receive the connection information. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
