Grief & Loss Through the Holidays - A Therapeutic Group

Grieving the loss of someone we love can be overwhelming, isolating, and often difficult to talk about. This three-hour, in-person workshop is designed to provide a gentle, supportive space for adults to reflect, connect, and begin to make sense of their grief—especially in light of the holiday season.

Facilitated by Registered Clinical Counsellor , this workshop is intended to:

• Normalize grief and reduce the stigma that often surrounds it
• Reduce feelings of isolation through shared stories and connection
• Increase understanding of your own experience and how others grieve
• Reconnect you with cultural or community-based practices of grieving
• Offer an art activity and mindfulness skill that you can take with you into your everyday life

What to Expect: You’ll be guided through reflective conversations and shared learning around:

• Exploring grief and loss and its impacts
• Understanding grief and its many symptoms
• Recognizing how grief affects the mind and body
• Naming common existential challenges that can emerge after loss
• Honouring cultural and communal grief practices

You will also be introduced to:

• A creative art activity (no experience required)
• A simple mindfulness skill to support daily grounding and emotional regulation

All art materials and handouts are provided.

While this workshop is therapeutic in nature, it is not a substitute for individual therapy. We encourage you to seek out counselling services or informal supports to continue processing your grief and loss in ways that feel meaningful to you.
