Bring your soul’s lamentations that may have been suppressed
Program Description
Join us for a generative experience that offers guidance on how to express grief over the death of a loved one through writing. Participants will write from a series of prompts facilitated with compassion and understanding by the author of Mourning Pages: A Soulful Guide to Writing Through Grief, Claudia Love Mair. Claudia Love wrote in real time about the gut-wrenching loss of her son and found a measure of healing from putting it all down on the page. Bring your soul’s lamentations that may have been suppressed in spaces where one is expected to grieve in timelines that fail to honor how long one walks through the valley of sorrows. No previous writing experience is required for this two-hour session.
We will turn on closed captioning during the live Zoom session (which you are able to turn off in your settings if you find distracting) as well as provide a video recording with closed captioning available and a text transcript of the session within 24 hours. You will be sent a notification when this is ready to view.
You have lifetime access to all online programs.
