Mindfulness-Based Grief Support
Mindfulness-Based Grief Support is a 90 minute session designed to offer a compassionate space for individuals experiencing grief. This course introduces mindfulness-based practices to support awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion in the presence of loss. Participants will explore how grief shows up in the body and mind, and learn gentle practices to help meet difficult emotions with greater steadiness and care. The session emphasizes that grief is a natural, individual process—not something to fix or rush. Through guided practices, reflection, and optional discussion, participants are invited to develop skills that support coping, grounding, and resilience. This course offers practical tools that can be used in daily life and is suitable for those new to mindfulness as well as those with prior experience.
