We’re thankful for your partnership in the world as compassionate listeners. Grief Circles are a longstanding tradition at the FSC. Here, people gather to explore the questions, feelings and experiences that follow the death of a loved one. With good courage, we open our hearts and listen to the stories of others. We also listen for our own sacred wisdom and courage.
This retreat is designed for individuals who are already serving in roles that involve grief support, spiritual care or companioning others through loss, such as chaplains, spiritual directors, therapists, clergy or trained lay ministers. Participants should have prior experience holding space for others and be prepared to share their own grief as part of the learning process. This retreat offers tools and insights for those looking to deepen and expand their grief companioning practices within their communities. You may be contacted by one of our facilitators to ensure the process aligns with your calling.
Presenters: Karna Marks, Jean Pagliaro and Julie Helgerson
