If you’re grieving, you might feel alone, destroyed, numb, or in shock. Kimberly Brown, meditation teacher and author of Navigating Grief and Loss: 25 Buddhist Practices to Keep Your Heart Open to Yourself and Others, created this course to provide you with the resources and tools you need to help you normalize and rehumanize your grief. Though all of us will encounter death and change, we can do so with kindness and wisdom, and develop the skills and heart to mourn loss with patience, tenderness, and clarity. In this weekly class, Kimberly will teach you to bring gentleness and care to your body, mind, and spirit with traditional Buddhist practices, modern therapeutic tools, compassionate listening and friendship. You’ll cultivate your inherent compassion and good sense to support yourself and those closest to you through the pain and sadness of mourning, loss, and grief.
In this program you’ll learn to:
• Strengthen your self-awareness and self-acceptance
• Meet difficult emotions with kindness
• Discover and learn to rely upon your constructive emotional resources
• Create healthy relationships and boundaries
• Discern options and make wise choices
• Develop gratitude and appreciation for your precious human life and your loss
This course is for anyone who is struggling with the loss of someone close to them—a friend, sibling, spouse, parent, grandparent, relative, colleague, or pet. Those experiencing anticipatory grief—if someone you love is dying right now—you are also welcome. We’ll be using exercises from Kimberly’s book. You can order a copy at this link but it is not mandatory for the course.
All programs are held on Eastern Standard Time (ET), unless otherwise noted. Recordings of hybrid programs will be sent either through e-mail or in Your Account on thus.org. Financial assistance is available through contacting [email protected].
