Healing the Heart: Grief and the Body

​

"Where there is sorrow, there is holy ground." - Oscar Wilde

Strengthening our skills in grief work is essential in these days of constant uncertainty and pervasive loss.

​

Our faith story gives us perspective and meaning. There are also stories of our bodies that are woven into our experiences.

​

Within our Christian tradition, there are way of praying and moving that are being re-discovered, especially in light of neuroscience. Knowledge of how we are created brings wisdom and compassion.

​

Simple practices involving our whole selves better equip us to welcome grief as an opportunity to deepen and transform us and those we serve.

Together, we will:

​

  • learn about the impacts of grief on the body and nervous systems

  • reflect upon our own present relationship with grief

  • experience spiritual practices that are soothing and healing and open us to God's constant presence

  • discern their application for ourselves and those we serve
