Interlude: A Holiday Grief Gathering
This “mini-retreat” day will offer four different online sessions designed to help those who are grieving to connect with a supportive community and to re-charge from the stress of the holiday season.
All sessions will be facilitated by members of Lumara’s counselling team. You can choose to attend one session or participate in several sessions. The zoom link will be sent closer to the event.
