The holiday season can be especially tender when we are missing someone we love. This 2-hour interactive gathering offers gentle guidance, education, and ritual practices to help navigate grief during this time of year.
Hosted by Wendy Kessler,(https://www.thedeathnetwork.com/wendy-kessler) Grief Guide, this is a time for us to come together and acknowledge that the holidays can present additional challenges for those who are grieving. Wendy will share practical ways to navigate the season and show us how knowledge, ritual and creativity can aid in the integration of grief.
Together, we will:
Learn about the nature of grief and tools for navigating hard days
Explore the history and healing power of ritual
Create a personalized candle ritual scape to take home
Share in community conversation and connection
The heart of our time will be the Five-Candle Ritual, a simple yet profound way to honor loved ones we miss. Each candle represents sorrow, courage, memories, love, and hope. Whether practiced in community or privately, this ritual can become a grounding tradition throughout the holidays and beyond.
All supplies are included, and you’ll leave with a ritual candlescape, handouts, and practices you can return to at home. Feel free to bring-your-own special items that you'd like to include in your candlescape - a favorite container like a tray or basket, trinkets and mementos to personalize your creation.
💗 Come as you are, with your grief, your love, and your memories. Together, we’ll create space for light and hope.
