And all subsided in the hush
that followed, in the calm
of great wings folding
and shadowy forms lying down.
I rose and left that room,
the house of my grief
and my bondage, my book
never again to be opened.
To see as once I saw,
steadied by the darkness
in which I walked
and would make my way.

Grief Recovery Therapy Group
Participants learn about the grieving process and help themselves form a bridge to the future. Although grief is a normal human
experience, each person's grief experience is subtly different. Our group helps you understand your loss and express the many feelings
that come with change. Any person who has suffered the loss of a significant relationship should attend:
parent, sibling, spouse, child, or other relative or friend who would benefit from sharing with others. Let us help you regain
your balance as you learn to re-engage in life in a new way.
Spirituality in the Workplace: An On-Going Exploration
Explore the ways in which spiritual fulfillment can emerge in your work life, and build community with others searching for deeper
meaning.
