Transformations for Grief

In online sessions for people grieving a loss, critically-acclaimed vibraphonist Chris Dingman plays evocative improvised music that guides an internal journey many have found comforting and healing.

Creative writing specialist Dr. Debbie Bronkema and somatic therapist Dina Percia hold space with prompts designed to meet you where you are and a brief candle-lighting ceremony to honor and remember those we have lost. We invite you to be as you are and explore what arises in a compassionate, safe, and supportive setting.

In October 2024, we will be exploring the themes of comfort, rewinding, complexity, re-engagement, and freedom/acceptance.

Sessions will take place online on Zoom, Tuesdays at 7pm - 8:30pm Eastern Time, on October 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29.
