 2nd Annual Virtual Grief Summit
April 28th & 29th from 9:00 AM - 4:40 PM CDT The 2nd Annual Virtual Grief Summit is the premier virtual event for healing professionals working with grief and loss. Death and loss feel so much closer now. And grieving is so different. Our journeys’ no longer focused on a single loss. Instead, we’re facing an accumulation of heartbreaks, sudden traumas, and a seemingly endless sense of uncertainty and collective loss. It all adds up, overwhelming us and making grief harder to process, leading to prolonged grief disorder, anxiety, depression, etc. PESI and Grief.com have teamed up to line up the most prominent names and best instructors for their 2nd annual Virtual Grief Summit, the world’s largest gathering of professionals working with grief. And because the tools and techniques shared at this summit are critical to your work, they are offering free access to the entire 2-day live event. The summit will feature David Kessler, Megan Devine, Claire Bidwell Smith, Litsa Williams, and five other acclaimed experts. This is the place to get the most up-to-date strategies and interventions so you can help clients cope and facilitate healthy grief in this unprecedented time. In just 2 days, you’ll get a comprehensive toolbox for addressing the most challenging issues for grieving clients in today’s destabilizing world, including: - Techniques for navigating collective grief and uncertainty - Proven strategies to promote connection and personal growth - Practical tools for traumatic grief and mourning - Unique strategies to create safe spaces for culturally diverse clients to grieve - How to ethically use self-disclosure to enhance your work with grieving clients - Expressive arts interventions for grieving children - The opportunity to upgrade and earn up to 12 LIVE CE hours - Interactive Q&A and handouts for each session - FREE archive access to ALL summit recordings for 14 days And much more! You’ll connect with an entire community of people just like you, so you can get the inspiration and support you need to feel re-energized and ready to tackle this most important work. Whether you’re a psychotherapist, social worker, hospice worker, or anyone in the helping professions, this is your chance to feel more prepared than ever to counsel, treat and walk alongside the grieving.

Art Your Grief classes are for grievers. Grief comes in many different forms - this class is for anyone experiencing grief - it might be a diagnosis, a death, a relationship, job loss, a dream, a home, etc. All grievers are welcome. No art experience is needed to take an Art Your Grief class. All you need is to bring yourself and be willing to show up and try painting, drawing and collage to process your grief. Explore and express your grief using art on Zoom in a safe space with other grievers. Emily will be walking you through different prompts with basic art supplies (watercolor, colored pencils, collage - nothing fancy) to help you connect with your grief while creating. The goal is not to create beautiful art (although sometimes this happens), the focus is on your grief and having a designated safe space to connect and express your grief using color, texture, and movement. Art is a powerful tool to express and explore grief. There is something beautiful that happens when we sit with it all - even if it’s extremely difficult to do. Next class series: Three options for month long classes that meet once a week on zoom: *Sunday, April 3,10, 24 (3 meetings) - 3:30-4:45 pm PDT/5:30-6:45 pm CT -$90 (3 spots left) *Tuesday, April 5, 12, 19, 28 (4 meetings) - 6:30-7:45 pm PDT/8:30-9:45 pm CT -$120 (2 spots left) *Wednesday, April 6, 13, 20, 27 (4 meetings) - 8:30-9:45 am PDT/10:30-11:45 am CDT- $120-(3 spots left). The first 60 min. are for creating, the last 15 are for optional sharing/listening (or you can continue creating). Please message Emily on Instagram to sign up. She only takes a handful of participants each month as it is important to me to keep it small and intimate. One workshop option for a one time class: If you don't want to commit to multiple classes, you can take the one-time workshop on *Saturday, April 23rd (1 meeting) - 9:30-10:45 am PDT/ 11:30-12:45 am CDT - $30 (2 spots left) Private Sessions: You can schedule private Art Your Grief sessions, an hour class is $65.

Private Class: You can schedule a private class for 5-7 people for 4 sessions of 75 minutes each for $120 a person. The first 60 min. are for creating, the last 15 are for optional sharing/listening.
