GRIEF, GRIEVING AND RITUALS: WHY WE ALL NEED THEM

GRIEF, GRIEVING AND RITUALS: WHY WE ALL NEED THEM

We all know that grieving is something you do for a while after someone dies, and then you move on, right? Well, maybe not.  What if grief has just as much to do with lost opportunity, what we expected but did not receive, and even sorrow in the larger world?  What if grief isn’t something to get through, but rather an enriching part of life?

          Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, writer and soul activist who authored The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. He founded and directs WisdomBridge, an organization that offers educational programs that seek to integrate the wisdom from traditional cultures with the insights and knowledge gathered from western cultures. And he advocates learning to live with and process our grief and sorrow.

Join us as we discuss sorrow and grieving, untouched and unacknowledged loss, and the skill of grief.
