This course is a safe, non-professional fellowship and support group for healing and renewal. It is designed for individuals who are experiencing the pain and grief associated with the loss of a relationship because of death, divorce, separation, or break up. This course may also be helpful for an individual who is currently in an unsatisfactory relationship that may be ending.
While the grief associated with the end of a relationship is unique depending on the circumstances, all love and loss experiences catapult us into a period of pain, suffering, self-doubt, fear of loneliness and a crisis of identity. We enter a difficult “in-between” stage that many would call, “a dark night of the soul” or Bardō.
In my own experience of grief, I have learned that when we open up to others who have grief in common and make a daily commitment to a mindful meditation practice, it is possible to ease the pain and transform our suffering and loss into a deeper awareness of love.

I am very grateful to have found this space and for the care with which you assembled our tasks and activities. It allowed me a place to talk about the anguish part of existence, rather than tucking it away and tending to the activities of daily living. I have been left with much to reflect on, new practices and strategies to incorporate.” (Leah, Age 64)
It was a wonderful learning and support experience. The group helped me process my grief and to access and understand my grief in new ways.” (Rebecca, Age 62)
Being part of a group which Raquel expertly and sensitively facilitated was so valuable in helping me see through my grief and losses in such a way that increased my capacity to exercise self-care, kindness and self-compassion, whilst as the same time respecting the suffering I was in.” (Greg, Age 60)
