Creating Pathways through Grief — Thursday, August 7, 2025

Updated on

9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The arts can be so helpful in processing our grief.  Bypass the head and work with your hands and heart. It’s restorative. Express your grief and find new insights about the journey. You’ll have opportunities to share what you make with others. Various options are available — including a dream work exercise, as well as a choice of various writing exercises. There’s even an art for “stuck points” in the grief journey exercise.

Best of all, no artistic experience is necessary!

The facilitator of this day retreat is Sandra Gramling, Ph.D., LCP, Spiritual Director and Coordinator of Grief Ministries at Richmond Hill. Activities may include:

  • Collage (Vision Board)
  • Writing (various exercises)
  • Mandala creation

Space is limited. Please register and hold your space by completing the form below. The standard suggested donation for this day retreat is $55.00 which includes lunch and all materials. There are also reduced and pay-it-forward options. We do not want financial considerations to be a barrier.

Contact Rev. Sheryl Johnson with questions. The retreat will be offered again November 6, 2025. Registration will open 12-weeks in advance.
