Those ready to reconnect with their body and emotions
Tom_Flanagan
Grief includes both the emotional pain of loss and also the suffering of trying to get back on our feet. In our own personal voyages there is a lot of advice out there. Some of it softens the pain but some of it also really cuts. My goal has never been to "get over it" but rather to learn to "carry it." The sessions will start with a sign in naming ourself and our lost loved one, reviewing the simple ground rules for participating, sharing some of our story, sharing reactions so some of the advice that is offered to us, and closing wit sharing one small thing that our lost loved one could always do to leave us with a smile.
Understanding major life events
Milestone events — such as marriage, parenthood, retirement, or serious illness — can carry emotional weight that’s often overlooked. Even joyful events can stir up stress, self-doubt, or fear of the unknown. Without a space to talk openly, those feelings can become overwhelming. Peer support gives individuals the opportunity to process these events in community. Whether you’re celebrating or struggling, having others to share with helps normalize your experience and uncover new meaning. These sessions turn life’s turning points into shared moments of connection and understanding.
