Lecture - Grief: A Shadow Companion for Life
Friday 13th May 2011, 7:30pm
Tickets $30 (members $20)
This lecture will explore the different types of grief we experience throughout life—along with the deep impact such experiences can have on our way of being, acting and thinking. Grief is unavoidable—since we all have lost dreams, deep wounding, and encounters with death—but espe-cially difficult in a world that denies death and gives primacy to technological progress, youth, growth and success. In this context, grief tends to become a very lonely journey, adding to the pain of loss. During this lecture we will delve into the ways that grief, integrated or not integrated, leads at time to bitterness, at time to deep reconnection with life.
Workshop - Encountering Grief through Art and Movement
Saturday, May 14, 2011 10:00 a.m. ~ 4:00 p.m.
Tickets: $140 (members $90)
Grief and loss affect us on all levels: physical, emotional, social and spiritual. In this workshop, through art, voice work and movement, we will focus on how we experience loss/grief (can be a specific loss or grief) and how we can relate to it and express it in different ways. Wear comfortable clothes to move freely. Bring light lunch. Although art materials will be provided, feel free to bring journal and art material you like.)
