Online: Embracing Change, Loss, and Grief
with Kimberly Brown
Saturday, March 25th, 2023 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
If you’ve encountered a significant change— the death of someone you love, divorce or separation, loss of livelihood — you might feel devastated, angry, or just lost. Join Kimberly Brown, meditation teacher and author of Navigating Grief and Loss: 25 Buddhist Practices to Keep Your Heart Open to Yourself and Others, for this experiential workshop and learn practices and teachings to meet your grief and difficult emotions with patience, tenderness, and clarity.
This half-day program is designed to give you the space and time necessary to bring comfort to yourself. Kimberly will guide mindfulness exercises and lead traditional Buddhist compassion practices to develop your resilience through difficulty. You’ll learn to engage with and befriend your sadness, pain, and mourning, and discover the true openness and peace available within us all, no matter what the circumstances.
This program is appropriate for and open to anyone who is experiencing change and grief. No experience with meditation or Buddhism is necessary and all are welcome. We’ll be using exercises from Kimberly’s book, Navigating Grief and Loss: 25 Buddhist Practices to Open Your Heart to Yourself and Others. You can order a copy at this link but it is not mandatory for the workshop.
