“There is healing in the trees for tired minds and for our overburdened spirits: there is strength in the hills,
if only we lift up our eyes. Remember that nature is your great restorer.” -Calvin Coolidge
Cultivating Compassion as a Resource for Loss & Grief Location: Wells Reserve, 342 Laudholm Farm Rd, Wells, ME An opportunity to learn about the Power of Compassion and Awareness as a resource for loss & grief while walking in nature. We have many losses in our lifetime and have a choice to push away, turn away, or meet grief with compassion. Loss and grief need to be heard and seen; when we witness and compassionately care for grief we can move through and integrate the pain. Come learn how compassion and nature help us care for grief. This event shares the principles of compassion as a resource for loss and grief. Participants practice cultivating compassion through a Portaling Awareness Walk (PAW). PAW is an opportunity to step into nature while being guided to expand your awareness (i.e., our outer senses, inner sensations, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and connections). This experience grounds and opens you to what needs your attention as it settles and supports your mind and body. |
