About this Event
Bernie's Buddies helps kids live again after a death loss.
Our unique workshops take place in a peer group where everyone participating has experienced a death loss. Each weekly session features a therapy dog visit, yoga movement and meditation, and a creative project.
We learn to help ourselves and each other navigate big grief feelings so that everyone belongs and no one feels alone.
This Fall 2023 workshop series is for kids ages 7 to 12, from 400pm to 515pm once per week for four weeks on the following dates (one ticket registration covers all four weeks):
- Thursday November 23
- Thursday November 30
- Thursday December 7
- Thursday December 14
Parents/caregivers are welcome to stay and observe our sessions, connect with each other or take this time for themselves (there are several great coffee shops nearby or walking paths along the river in Kensington).
Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, our workshops are available at no cost to participants and families!

FAQ
My child's age falls outside 7 to 12 years. Can he/she still participate?
We organize our activities to be age and developmentally appropriate for our participants as much as possible. Please contact us directly if your child is outside of this age range and you feel they'd like to join us.
