TRANSFORMATION THROUGH GRIEF

An evening presentation at Wisdom’s Heart

2 Duncan St. Gloucester

Friday, October 17
7:30-9:30pm  

Being humans, we are regularly experiencing loss.The grief that arrives with the death of a loved one can render us helpless and hopeless. And yet there is an opportunity for transformation in this situation as well as great challenge. The evening will include a brief talk by the speaker, followed by a brilliantly tender film. There will be time for meditation, stillness, and discussion. Everyone is welcome.

She began Buddhist studies with Lama Marut in 2007 and continues advanced Buddhist studies with Lindsay Crouse and Rick Blue. Anita has been a healing arts practitioner for 40 years and has served thousands of people in her roles as a psychotherapist, RN, childbirth educator, midwife and massage therapist. Since the untimely death of her daughter Nora in 2010, Anita has specialized in grief counseling and healing-from-loss retreats.
