SUMMARY:Nature as Healer: A Grief Writing Workshop - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been cancelled. Please stay tuned for another offering in the spring\, and join us at another event in the meantime. \n“The people cannot be healed until the land is healed. The land cannot be healed until the people are healed by the land.” – Martin Prechtel\, author \nNature can be a great healer for the heartaches we all experience along our journey. Join Naila Francis\, founder of This Hallowed Wilderness\, for a writing workshop to explore the restorative power of nature. \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Gwynedd Preserve\, listening to our inner voices\, on this inspiring nature immersion that also invites us into reciprocal relationship with the land and wildlife. \nBring a notebook and a writing instrument for this workshop. (We will also have some available.) \nYou will be invited to share whatever you wish in a “sacred circle\,” but this is not required. The intent of this event is to bring people together\, whatever their losses and struggles\, and to connect with others and the natural world at their own comfort level. \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time in the Betz Memorial Garden\, and quiet reflection. \nPlease save the rain date in the event of inclement weather: Sunday\, November 8\, 1:00 – 3:00 PM. \nAbout our instructor: Naila is a grief coach and death midwife who companions people on their grief journey through multiple spaces and practices\, including meditations in nature and the written word.
