Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go - Jamie Anderson
When children experience change, separation, or the loss of someone they love, our instinct is often to help them "move on."
But perhaps what they need is something different.
Perhaps they need to know that love does not disappear simply because life has changed. It can be remembered, expressed, carried, and woven into who they are becoming.
Holding On & Letting Grow โ Carrying Love Forward is the final workshop of our series where it will invite us to reflect on how we can support children and the families in carrying love forward while continuing to grow.
Together, we will experience:
Puppet Making - creating a safe companion through which children can express feelings, memories, and hopes that may be difficult to say aloud.
Pebble Conversations โ using simple stones as symbols to explore the people, memories, strengths, and love that children continue to carry through life's transitions.
Through the lens of play, we will explore how meaningful connections can continue long after life has changed, and how children can find hope without feeling that they must let go of the people or moments that matter most.

Because healing isn't about forgetting. It's about discovering that love can continue to grow, even as life asks us to grow too.
Registration is now open. We look forward to journeying with you in this final workshop.
