None of us get to this age without losing something or someone. Loss and how we navigate it is a keystone of aging. How do we keep going, honoring what we’ve lost but also being present to where we are now? Sharing and witnessing others’ losses is an important first step. In this workshop, we’ll explore parts of “self” that get activated around loss, especially when there’s more than one loss. We’ll also learn some specific exercises and guided meditations designed to help us get unstuck. Hopefully we can begin moving towards embracing and savoring all that we have gained in the lives we have lived. . .so far.
