Walking the Mourner's Path: a Spiritual Direction Group for the Grieving
with Laura Goldman
Second & fourth Tuesdays, October 13-December 22, 7-9pm.
$200 for members; $250 for non-members
This is a group for those who have experienced a recent death, and those who have not previously had the opportunity to grieve an older loss in a clear and healing manner. We will meet every second and fourth Tuesday for three months, using ritual, prayer, meditation and writing to move through a mourning process in a safe and spiritual atmosphere. Additionally, there will be teachings regarding various Jewish mourning practices and Jewish views of the afterlife.
In the spirit of the Jewish instruction that meaningful grieving requires two central ingredients: Truth, and a Safe and Supportive Community, we will travel together through the process of mourning. As with other Spiritual Direction Groups, this is a contemplative group designed to track the sacred dimensions of our lives, including the grieving process. Participants should be able to commit to the entire three months, and be emotionally prepared to engage in the process of mourning their loss(es).
Please call Laura Goldman at (510) 528-1835 for more information and to schedule an interview.
