Have you experienced loss and the natural emotions of
sadness, anger, fear, and love? How do you process your losses and move through
your life? Unfortunately, many of us have not found safe and effective ways of
expressing these emotions, and we can feel stuck, both emotionally and at times
physically, with the cumulative burden of our unfinished business. Using the
tools of the 5Rhythms movement practice combined with a process of grief-work
that is grounded in emotional presence, non-judgment, and supportive
witnessing, participants will join together in a safe space to help heal mind,
body, and spirit.
Davida will facilitate the 5Rhythms as a method to
experientially access a wide spectrum of feelings. Peter, a physician with more
than thirty years of experience in HIV/AIDS and palliative care, will
facilitate story-sharing as part of releasing and working through losses. Other
elements of the workshop include both didactic and experiential content,
focusing on natural and distorted emotional responses to grief, caregiving vs.
caretaking, and other topics.
Please bring photos or other mementos of anyone whose
memory you would like to bring into the workshop.
Facilitators: Davida Taurek and Peter Selwyn
Cost: $420 - $845
