WinterSpring Center is offering "Bringing Light To Our Sorrow and Grief" at RVUUF.

Mourning is a deeply personal experience. We are challenged to live with raw emotions, memories, responsibilities and the process of sorting out our grief. Loss can challenge or strengthen our faith and our capacity to heal. Over a period of 6 weeks, we will practice sitting meditation to quiet our minds and feelings and explore relaxation, guided imagery and journaling as we share our stories of grief and loss. We continue to heal by experiencing and sharing love, acceptance, forgiveness and letting go in a safe and supportive setting.

Cost is by donation. For more information contact Barbara Gold-Seles at 541 727-2676.
