This five-session series is for those who wish to companion the bereaved or are already doing so in various capacities and want to hone their skills. The art of supporting those who grieve life’s losses is deceptively simple, but many who support the bereaved discover a challenge of an imbalanced approach of head, heart, and persistence.

Often the best approach feels counter-intuitive, counter-intellectual, and even counter-western culture. In this training, we explore the ‘Three-Legged Stool’, a natural and balanced approach to companioning the bereaved along with compassionate approaches to guiding the bereaved towards purposeful and intentional healing.
