Join Clair Jantzen for this 3-day intensive workshop geared towards those with an interest in being equipped to lead support groups focused on grief and loss.
Participants will experience what it's like to be involved with others who are navigating loss. It is an intensely personal journey as we learn to open ourselves up to the losses of our own lives, share them with others and receive the content of their experiences, too. The facilitator will model the leadership role, leading the participants on the journey of grief exploration. At the end of the workshop, you will have a duplicatable program which you can implement in your own sphere of service. The workshop employs small and large group sessions along with personal time and working lunches.
You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own beverages and food to stay refreshed throughout the event. Water, coffee, and tea will be available throughout the day all three days. Refreshments and lunch will be provided on the first day. You are welcome to bring your own lunch or to access the surrounding restaurants on days two and three.
