COURSE DATES
This is an online course, so you can join us from anywhere in the world. Much of the course is set up so that you can engage with the material at any time of day that suits you, except for our live sessions that take place once a week throughout the course. We usually run two classes a year.
Please check your timezone for the live sessions as we prefer that you attend weekly if you can!

I initially had some hesitation signing up for this course because I have not experienced grief in the form of loss of a close loved one. But I saw so many parallels between grief due to bereavement and my own grieving over losses due to my depression and progressive illness. Something was drawing me to this course and I am so glad I listened.
The course’s “experiential learning” emphasis allowed deep exploration of my own personal (unique!) grief and loss journey naturally within the course’s three months. Witnessing/companioning fellow participants in their processes brought additional teaming opportunities, increasing understanding of a range of perspectives and responses and challenges that may arise.
