WORKSHOP:
Writing into the Heart of Surviving the Loss of a Loved One to Suicide
This writing workshop is an invitation to explore the loss of a dear one to suicide, and the very complex and unresolved grief remaining for much part of one’s life, by entering into the heart of what is alive, which wants to be expressed. It is inspired by the compassionate and generative writing practice developed by Natalie Goldberg discussed in her book Writing Down the Bones. The workshop is offered to survivors, both writers and non-writers alike, and includes contemplative and sensory exercises to anchor body and mind in nowness. Writing with prompts and memories, optional sharing, and quiet listening, will offer a vivid space, a momentary refuge one needs to create, and a river to navigate both anguish and the brilliance of the present moment.
Thank you to 4Culture, Hugo House and Washington Crisis Connections for their support and presence.
The workshop is free, for survivors of a loss to suicide.
