Community Grief Group
This free offering is a space for you to gather with your grief, and with others who are grieving their own losses. Rachel will facilitate the group, creating a container and gentle structure for participants to listen and share (or not!) about their own grief journey.
This group is for all types of grief - the loss of a loved one, chronic or terminal illnesses, loss of a pet, shifting stages of life, environmental and global conditions... all grief is valid and welcome in this group.
Enter through the back door and take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. Meet us in the conference room.
RSVP not required.
Grief Writing Workshop
Rachel believes that story is a powerful tool for connection, meaning-seeking, healing, and integrating the most beautiful and challenging parts of life. Rachel’s own apprenticeship to grief began in Feb 2020 when her father was diagnosed with ALS. During his dying process, she started talking - and writing - about her experience navigating his disease and death. Writing helped her make sense of the senseless, helped her process the loss, and begin to figure out how to hold her sorrow with the same honor as her love.
Grief can often feel very solitary, but sharing our stories of sorrow with others helps bring light to the darkness. In this grief writing workshop, Rachel will guide participants through an explorative writing exercise designed to shine a warm light on our sorrows, followed by optional story-telling.
Participants are encouraged to bring:
a favorite journal and pen (notebooks will be provided if you don’t have one, with pens available as well).
a small item for our grief altar
items to make yourself comfortable (layers, water, snacks, etc.)
This workshop is sponsored by the Moretown Library at 1147 VT-100B, Moretown, VT 05660. Please note that at this time, the library is only accessible by stairs.
