Giving & Receiving:

Grief and the Holidays Workshop

Saturday, December 13, 2008

10 am – 4 pm
It takes courage to grieve and to honor the pain we carry – particularly during the holiday season when our sadness is intensified and the world is celebrating around us. Through meditation, lecture, discussion and experiential exercises, this workshop explores the holiday practice of giving and receiving while remembering recent and long-held losses.

All who grieve any type of loss (the death of a loved one, an accumulation of relationship transitions, the loss of an ability or identity) are invited to take refuge in this workshop.

Fee: $60

Location: 503-A Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94117

Register: Please contact Liz Bohm at 415-863-2910 or liz@zenhospice.org
