Grief Counseling and Retreats
Grief. The thing we share, the thing we dread, the thing we cannot avoid in life. Grief is not a condition, a diagnosis, or an illness. Grief is the natural physical and emotional reaction to loss...loss of a loved one, loss of health, loss of opportunity, loss through dementia. So many inevitable transitions.
Because we are not taught how to navigate this journey, we often miss the chance to transform our own journeys through grieving those people and circumstances that land on our path. Blue Lotus offers day and overnight retreats to explore the many events of life the bring us sadness: death of family, death of friends, death of pets, tragedy of suicide, the horrible inconceivable loss of a child.
Individual counseling is also provided on occasion by request.

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.

Creative Grief Workshops
One of most difficult things about grieving is the sense of powerlessness and futility that often comes along as we deal with the death of someone we love. Blue Lotus offers Creative Grief Workshops for both children and adults, where we explore sadness and emotions surrounding loss using various forms of artistic expression and other creative processes. These workshops are about exploration and experiment, not about perfectionism and end result.
Creative Grief Workshops are not therapy, but rather our personal journeys through end of life, death, and the magical power of creativity to transform our futures.
Join us for this imaginative experience. Check our events calendar for more information
Grief is an act of protest that declares our refusal to live numb and small, says Francis Weller, author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow.
Creative approaches to transformation remind us to live out loud, no matter the pain, with the knowledge that inside us all, resiliency lives.
