About the webinar:
To live and to become conscious is to know loss. Whether loss comes late or early, there is one certainty: eventually, loss visits every house. All of the great spiritual and literary traditions recognize the ubiquity of loss. In some ways, that is what makes them great traditions. And more, these traditions also offer guidance on how we might carry our losses.
Modern health care often has an unhealthy relationship with suffering. Suffering is too frequently treated as an illness to be removed or at least dampened in some way. But love and loss are poured from the same vessel. We cannot turn away from loss without turning away from love. And, because our losses are often tangled in the web of our social network, what we do with those losses propagates around us.
In this webinar, we will examine the grit and grain of loss. We will examine the ways that an ACT perspective can help inform the ways we receive loss, the ways we carry loss, and most importantly, the ways that our losses can enrich and inform each of our days. The webinar will use personal examples and experiential exercises to illuminate loss, possibilities, and contingencies of meaning.
Previous webinars have been successful. Thanks to all the members who have participated. Currently we are working towards arranging further webinars.
If you have not attended a webinar previously, you will find its a convenient and great learning experience. It is also a wonderful way to engage with the presenter and have your questions answered directly. At a subsidised fee, we encourage all Interest Group members to attend.
