Rooted in the companioning philosophy of Alan Wolfelt, this workshop invites participants to honor loss rather than avoid it, and to discover meaningful ways to mourn on purpose and restore our capacity to love. Through guided art experiences, reflective writing, conversation, and ritual, women will create meaningful works that help give shape and movement to grief. Together we will explore:

- memory and continuing bonds
- grief bursts and linking objects
