We are living in a time of great collective grief and loss with less and less community to support and help deal with it. This workshop delves into the many flavors of grief by exploring our parts reactions, protections, feelings and beliefs about grief, as well as cultural and family patterns. The differentiation of grief and depression will be explored as well as the 5 gates of grief from Francis Weller’s book, “The Wild Edge of Sorrow”. Self and parts as an inner community resource to help address and heal our multiplicity of grief will be utilized. Lectures, meditation, journaling, and experiential exercises will be use to facilitate the participants’ learning and experience. Presented by Ann Sinko, LMFT at the IFS-I Annual Conference in 2021.
