Grief workshops for adults focus on specific topics. Workshops are free of cost, but registration is required.
Once you register, you will receive instructions on how to join.
Grieving for a loved one is never easy, but the holiday season seems to enhance sorrow, anxiety, depression, and various other emotions. Many people want to skip the holiday season altogether. It is our hope, that this workshop will provide you with a better understanding of grief and bereavement to help you move towards healing.
The experience of grief is sometimes described as a journey through the wilderness. After a death, we may feel lost, overwhelmed and alone in a strange and unknown place.
Together, as we weave a story with healing images, explore and engage your imagination to promote well-being and relaxation.
Our connection to music is deep and powerful. In dealing with grief and loss, music can help with the expression of difficult thoughts and feelings, when words alone are not enough. In this workshop, you will learn how music can help decrease the stress, anxiety and intrusive thoughts that may come with grief. A Hospice Niagara music therapist will talk about the benefits of music for mental health and provide opportunities to express your grief through music.
A camera points both ways — towards the scene being photographed, and towards the person behind the camera. In taking a photograph, we also learn something about ourselves.
Often we can’t see what our emotions are telling us, or we feel trapped and isolated in our feelings. Using a camera or a cell phone, explore how photography can help us express ourselves and our grief, while feeling connected to the people who remain forever in our hearts.
Future Session TBA
Virtual workshop
Kids grieve differently than adults. In fact, sometimes their inner turmoil can be misunderstood or invisible even to people who know them well.
When children and youth need a break from the intensity of grief, they may play or hang out with friends. Adults in their life may perceive that they are ‘fine’ or ‘coping well.’
Kids need to know they are not alone. Support can make all the difference. This workshop is for parents, family and anyone who wants to better understand how to help kids in grief.
