Expressive Arts Rituals for Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are experienced in many ways, e.g., death of a person or pet, loss of ability, opportunity or relationship.  Whether your loss is recent or some time has passed, this group will use expressive arts rituals (acknowledging the loss, being present in light of one’s loss, and one’s future journey with the loss) to help participants reflect on their loss in an intentional manner. 

Come and join with others on their journey with grief, where you'll get support and help create a supportive environment for others.  We ask that you bring a memento that represents your loss, (e.g., picture, object, etc.).  This drop-in support group meets three consecutive Tuesdays: 2/7, 2/14/ & 2/21, from4-5:00pm at CAPS.  The depth of personal exploration will deepen with each group, and participants are welcome to attend one or all group sessions.

For more information, contact the group facilitators, LeBron Rankins, Ph.D., or Lourdes Brache-Tabar, LMHC, Ph.D., at counseling@ithaca.edu.
