Mindfulness During Grief Workshop

Description

Please join us for our free Mindfulness During Grief Workshop being held on Saturday 10 August from 9:00am to 2:00pm at Elliotts Chapel, 414 Cameron Road, Tauranga. Includes morning tea and lunch. 

We have joined hands with Elliotts' Funeral Services for the fourth consecutive year to organise a workshop focused on the power of mindfulness when coping with grief and loss. Owing to high demand, we are offering a rerun of the 2023 workshop. 

In a world where we are bombarded with information and a hectic pace is normalised, it is sometimes difficult to give an experience like loss and grief the attention it deserves and needs. When we pause and take time to witness our thoughts and responses with gentle curiosity, kindness and compassion it can give us valuable insights into our wellbeing that can otherwise be dismissed or overlooked.

Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgementally. Mindfulness refers to the capacity to be present in our lives, whatever we are experiencing and to hold ourselves with kindness and compassion as we do so. This can help us to hold ourselves steady through times of difficulty and suffering and opens a space so that we don’t just react out of habitual patterns, but rather have more choice. This is not always easy, but it is where the power lies. 

Participants do not need to have any previous experience of mindfulness practice and the group will be held in a nourishing and safe space by trained and experienced Physiotherapist and Mindfulness Facilitator Katie Ayo. “Mindfulness can allow us ways to soften our loss and grief and manage experiences such as overwhelm, anxiety, frustration and sadness in a non-reactive and non-judgemental way”, says Katie.
