Interlude: A Holiday Grief Gathering
Interlude: A Holiday Grief Gathering on Sunday, December 4th.
This “mini-retreat” day will offer five different online sessions designed to help grieving people connect with a supportive community and recharge from the stress of the holiday season.
Members of Lumara’s counselling team will facilitate all sessions. You can choose to attend one session or participate in several sessions.
In lieu of a registration fee, we ask that participants consider making a donation to the Society in line with their own comfort level. (Suggested donation: $10 per session).
