Our Mending Hearts: Finding Hope and Meaning After Loss offers comfort, connection, and compassionate support in a small, welcoming group setting for those who have experienced a recent loss. Guided by understanding and shared experience, participants have the opportunity to express their grief, find encouragement, and begin healing alongside others on a similar journey. Past participants have found these sessions to be deeply meaningful, providing a sense of community, hope, and support during a difficult time.
The program is facilitated by Rabbi Aliza Berk, LMFT, Jewish Educator, Chaplain and Spiritual Director, and Gail Braverman, LMFT, Certified Art Therapist, Certified Amherst Writers and Artists Facilitator, Yoga instructor. Both facilitators will guide participants through the healing process with love and support.
