Leading Grief Circles: A Group Spiritual Direction Experience (in-person)

CONTINUING EDUCATION FPOR SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
NOVEMBER 15-16 (Friday, 6-9 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.)
Presenters: Karna Marks, Julie Connelly and Sarah Hennessey, FSPA
We’re thankful for your partnership in the world as compassionate listeners. Grief Circles are a longstanding tradition at the FSC. Here, people gather to share the questions, feelings and experiences that follow the death of a loved one. With good courage, we open our hearts and listen to the stories of others. We also listen for our own sacred wisdom. This continuing-education experience is open to spiritual directors who might like to share this Grief Circle experience in their own community. We have prepared a curriculum that we will share with you. We’ll also share details about our process and the readings we have curated over the years. We ask that you come ready to participate fully. We’ll sink down into our own experiences of grief as we prepare to support others in their grief journey.
Note: You may wish to check in early and participate in the Carrie Newcomer mini-retreat and concert on November 14.
