  • On Zoom
  • The presenter: Sherèe Browne, Director of Pre-Planning and Community Outreach *** “Being a natural facilitator of tough conversations and having experienced the loss of loved ones several times throughout life, when the calling came to step into death care I knew it was meant to be my life’s work. Living in a society where death is often a taboo topic, avoided due to fear and a variety of uncomfortable feelings, it’s extremely important to me to help educate and empower people so that they know all of their options, are remembered exactly as they want to be, and can break free from some of the fear associated with death; allowing them to live more fulfilling, enriching lives. My life’s passion is to help you plan your final wishes so that your life is more abundant, filled with love, and exciting than ever!” *** Details When: Thursday, January 27 at 6:00 PM Mountain Time ***REGISTER IN ADVANCE*** Where: From the comfort of your home on Zoom

  • Beyond a Bubble Bath: When "Self-Care" Isn't Enough

  • We often hear “take care of yourself”, “self-care is essential to preventing burnout” and so we are taught to exercise, eat well, get enough sleep, indulge in bubble baths and take “mental health” days. But when those interventions don’t feel like enough we start to question our ability and career. Join us to have a real conversation and learn interventions that go “beyond a bubble bath” and explore, in depth, what self-care can really mean.

  • 5/10/2022-11:0
  • Virtual with the HeartLight Center
  • A virtual program for caregiving professionals, including Healthcare workers, Victim Advocates, Therapists, Counselors, Funeral Directors, Hospice Workers ***** In the relationship between traumatic loss, grief, and PTS, there is a lot of confusion. This training will provide professionals with a framework for understanding the relationship between acute stress, trauma, and grief, as well as identifying the impact of trauma responses on bereavement. Building on the shattered assumptions theory of trauma and post-traumatic growth research, professionals will learn practical approaches to support individuals who have experienced traumatic losses. ***** The session will specifically consider the potential impact on a family’s grief experience when death was a result of COVID or occurred during COVID. ***** Learning Objectives • Describe common and unique patterns of stress and trauma response in both anticipated and unanticipated deaths. • Identify intersections of and disjunctions between grief responses and trauma responses, including the impact of trauma responses on the bereavement process. • Explore the effects of stigma and self-stigma on the grief process and as barriers to healing. • Review the existing research and clinical observations of individuals who lost loved ones to, and during, COVID-19. • Provide evidence-informed practical approaches to supporting the positive personal change following traumatic loss, including changes in role and identity, new ways of relating, existential or spiritual beliefs, and the purpose and meaning making. ********* Tuesday May 10th, 2022 ***** 8:00-10:00 Pacific / 9:00-11:00 Mountain / 10:00-12:00 Central / 11:00-1:00 Eastern (2 Hour Program) ***** Suggested donation: $15 ***** *Certificate of Completion will be provided to attendees.

  • Virtual with the HeartLight Center
  • Fostering Continued Connections with Loved Ones Who Have Died A virtual program for anyone who has experienced a loss or is supporting a grieving loved one through loss. ********* Creating ongoing and continued connections with loved ones who have died is a normal and natural part of grief. These connections, known as continued bonds, can bring great comfort as you learn to move forward in the world without your loved one – holding onto items, daily habits, private rituals, conversations with your loved one, visiting places where you feel close to them, thinking about them – these are all ways people stay connected to those who have died. Unfortunately, certain deaths pose uniquely difficult challenges to coping with grief and creating continuing bonds. Sudden losses, deaths that are stigmatized, and deaths that have occurred during COVID-19 are just a handful of these potentially traumatic losses. Adapting in these circumstances can be particularly difficult, leaving some people with especially intense, pervasive, overwhelming grief. ********* In this session, participants will learn more about the impact of these potentially traumatic losses on grief, consider common barriers to coping and adapting and how to address them, reflect on the role continuing bonds plays in grief and grief healing, and be introduced to creative and practical tools for fostering a continued bond with loved ones who have died. ********* Tuesday May 10th, 2022 ***** 5:00 Pacific / 6:00 Mountain / 7:00 Central / 8:00 Eastern (1.5 Hour Program) ***** Suggested donation: $15

  • Soul Centered Holistic Grief Healing Workshops with the HeartLight Center
  • 6/14/2022-18:30
  • 6/14/2022-20:0
  • Virtual with the HeartLight Center
  • When our loved one dies we suffer. Our suffering isn’t merely limited to one aspect of our life, but all aspects of our life. The suffering we feel and the grief we experience is holistic, impacting us mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. This is why the healing process can not simply address one aspect of us and our life, but must also be a holistic healing response. Soul Centered Holistic Grief Healing is an experiential workshop providing anyone, at any time, after any loss, a holistic approach to healing. During this 2-part program you will explore what it means to holistically heal, practical pathways to healing, and the comfort, support and guidance you need, not to move on from your loss and your grief, but to move forward in discovering your journey of healing and fully live your life. ************ Suggested Donation: $30. ***** Registration is required. ***** Workshop Dates: Tuesday June 14 and 21st (You may attend either, or both!)
