Grief
April
This six-week series on Thursdays from April 6 – May 11 is for adults to explore grief as a natural process, allowing participants to learn about the grief process and connect with others who are grieving the death of a loved one. Attend all sessions.
Register by April 5.
Masking is required. No food or drink is allowed in the conference room.
This six-week class is open to anyone who has suffered the death of a loved one and is grieving. Class activities can help relieve the physical, mental, social and spiritual symptoms of grief. Class combines the benefits of a grief support group: education, support, connection with others, with yoga practices for self-care: breathing practices, gentle movement and meditation. Participants will utilize the deeper tools of yoga to help create a safe space for grief and connect with their deepest selves in a compassionate way. The emphasis will not be on physical exercise (asana).
Kathy Bang, a retired hospice social worker, will teach the class.
Cost is reduced for Mayo Clinic employees and students of Mayo Clinic educational programs.
