Healing Grief with Movement, Purpose and Connection (In-Person + Virtual)

6140 Station Street,Pittsburgh PA 15206

16 March, 2023

Description

In this talk, Jenn Shepherd explores how healing grief is not an overnight process. Grief comes at us through loss: Loss of a relationship, loss of a job, loss of a loved one. Our American culture does not easily lend itself to time to grieve, or the understanding of grief on our bodies, our emotions, and on our life choices moving forward from grief. We may all move forward and heal through finding our sense of purpose and listening to and understanding where and how we store grief in our bodies. Also, we must find connection by creating a new relationship with our loved ones and situations who are no longer with us and who we are today without that presence. This is a live event being held at the East End Cooperative Ministry's Community House (6140 Station St, Pittsburgh, PA 15206) and is also being livestreamed virtually via Zoom Webinar.
