Life Circle: Grief Facilitator Program
Facilitated by: Rev. Ryan Alexander
Cost: $495
As we continue to work toward our goal of “Creating a World That Works for Everyone,” we are called to face everyday realities with compassion and a willingness to lean in with the recognition and application of Spiritual Truth. The intent of this program is to support CSL Community Members, and members of the general public, in moving through the many facets of bereavement and the grief experience.
CSL Grief Circles will support participants with balancing the loss of normalcy and rhythms of everyday life, while coping with grief and loss. In the wake of any sudden change, we are moved into a new way of being and must find new ways to connect with the world. The multi-week circle experience will assist participants in naming and moving through their personal grief experience while having the support of a CSL Grief Circle.
The CSL Grief Circle Facilitator Program will train individuals to facilitate 2 six-week Grief Circle experiences at their local Centers or other locations in the community. Periodic support sessions for facilitators are provided.
An application will be required (click on the link below). Applicants should have experience with grief counseling and/or be a CSL Practitioner or Minister.
