Nature-Based Grief Ritual Workshop for Families

Creating grief rituals in nature

On Saturday, May 9, Tufts Medicine Care at Home will offer families an experiential grief support workshop on the grounds of High Pointe House, our hospice and palliative care residence located at 360 North Avenue in Haverhill, Massachusetts.

This free nature-based workshop is open to adults and children who have experienced a loss due to death. The event takes place from 10:30 am – 12:15 pm.

During the workshop, Care at Home bereavement counselors will guide participants through the therapeutic benefits of grief rituals and help families create meaningful healing practices. Attendees will visit three stations along a peaceful wooded path and engage with the four elements of nature – earth, water, air and fire (represented by an electric candle) – to honor their loved one, release burdensome emotions or regrets and transform their loss into healing.

Registration

Registration is required by May 6. To register, call 1.800.933.5593 or email susan.toleos@tuftsmedicine.org.
