I am the Coordinator of a Faith & Grief Host Site in Pittsford, NY. We run 2-concurring 7-week small group sessions (daytime & evening) each Fall and Spring. I am also the lead facilitator for the evening program. Faith & Grief: A Ministry of Compassion & Connection is out of Dallas, TX. Utilizing many different faith traditions and spiritual practices, Faith & Grief provides a safe environment and tools for individuals as they explore their own faith on the their grief healing journey.
In addition to the Faith & Grief workshop, I am offering an original 6-week in-person small group in collaboration with Path Forward Creative Wellness and Charles Cote, LCSW. “Out of the Ashes: Reconstructing Life After Loss” explores grief recovery in a safe, therapeutic setting. Healing practices are taught as well, respecting participants individuality while providing supportive tools.
