Grief is not a problem to solve. It is a natural response to loss that can take many shapes, appear unexpectedly, and coexist with joy, numbness, anger or gratitude.
In this interactive and reflective workshop, we will explore how grief shows up in our lives, why emotional awareness matters, and how we can support ourselves and others through loss. You will learn to recognize primary and secondary emotions, deepen your emotional self-care, and understand what healing might look like, without timelines, rules or pressure to "move on".
This workshop is part of IE Mental Health Awareness Month: A Month of Emotions, and takes place during the Week of Sadness, a space to honor difficult emotions and the wisdom they carry.
