An opportunity to pause on your journey since the loss of someone you love and reflect on how this has changed your life…
This course is ideal for anyone touched by the death of a loved one and interested in looking more deeply with others on the impact of this experience and how it has altered their understanding and approach to life.
Over 6 evenings we will explore the following themes:
- Death - an encounter with life’s mystery?
- Grieving your way
- Aloneness
- Communion with your loved one - what continues?
- Relationships and friendships - old wood/new growth
- You and Your life! - drawing meaning to live with
The evenings will be relaxed and gentle with opportunities for questions and discussion.
