Write On! Loss & Change

Details:
Write On! Loss & Change Presented by Dr. Yolanda Wattsjohnson Held At Horizon Grief Resource Center Write On! Loss and Change is part of a series of writing workshops designed to help an individual connect/re-connect to their inner strength through writing. In this workshop you will be guided through a series of structured exercises. The most important part of the process is the intention you bring to each exercise. You will never be forced to participate, nor will you be told what to do. Rather, the exercise will provide you with clear suggestions for an experience in which you are invited to participate. Write On! Loss and Change may be a valuable experience for individuals dealing with the loss of a spouse, friend or pet after at least six months, recent college graduates, a newlywed, a recently terminated or laid-off professional or anyone seeking a new perspective to process any form of loss or change they have experienced. Couples and close acquaintances are not encouraged to take the course together. The workshop is divided into three sessions over the course of one week. Session 1 %u2013 Self-love In this session you will participate in a guided meditation that will help you to remember who you are and the things that you like about yourself. You will then have an opportunity to identify the new needs in your life resulting from the loss or change that you have experienced. Session 2 %u2013 Community This session builds upon the first session. It invites you to revisit the place of comfort you created in the guided meditation from the first session. It then asks that you think about your process of loss or change and how the community of people or resources that wish to support you can be part of this process. Session 3 - Accepting the Gift of Change The final session blends the awareness developed in the first two sessions. Without judgment, it invites you to examine the loss or change that you have experienced in your life as what it is, an opportunity for a new beginning. Abstractions developed this workshop specifically for Horizon Home & Hospice Care. The Grief Resource Center is currently the only location where it is offered. The workshop series will take place over three days at the Grief Resource Center. In order for the facilitator to be truly present with each participant, enrollment is limited to 9 individuals.
