Join our partner Institute for Spirituality and Health for an upcoming workshop HEALING THROUGH COLLECTIVE GRIEF
Friday, February 17, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM (Online)
Grief is a deeply personal process, but what happens when pain, frustration, and loss are felt everywhere at the same time? Collective grief can manifest in the wake of major events such as war, natural disasters, epidemics, school and mass shootings, and others that result in mass casualties or widespread tragedy. The challenges have brought anxiety, anger, and an erosion of trust in one another and our institutions. Does widespread loss simply compound personal loss, or can comfort be found in a collective grief process? This 2 hour virtual workshop will consider this concept of collective grief.
