Topic details:
Change is a constant in life but for many of us the last year has brought more intense and radical change, much of it unwelcomed and challenging. There is so much suffering these days due to loss and grief. Rates of depression, anxiety, addiction and suicide are at an all time high. Tonight we will explore using our meditation practice tools to find relief, understanding and acceptance of our losses and to use grief as a doorway into deeper insights. Jeff will share some personal stories of loss and sorrow and liberation from the healthcare frontlines of the pandemic. He will discuss many useful practices to work with our individual and collective grief and suffering.
