 Art Your Grief Classes with Emily Dilbeck
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: This time of year can be especially difficult for those grieving. If you are wanting some extra support and care during this time - please consider joining the month long class for December 2022.

November 20th - December 20th Approximately every 32.1 minutes, someone is murdered in the United States. With raising national homicide rates, support for families impacted by violence and awareness of the impact of homicide in our communities is needed now more than ever. November 20th marked the beginning of National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month (SHVAM). Enacted in 2000, SHVAM offers an opportunity to educate the public and policymakers about the effect that murder has on families and communities, and uplift the peace-building efforts of survivors. SHVAM provides a dedicated space around the holiday season for survivors to gather in community and celebrate and honor their loved ones. Let's fight to bring awareness this month to the loved ones we have lost. To find resources and support for survivors of homicide loss, reach out to these organizations: Louis D.

The constant refrains we see about the holiday season's happiness, and getting together with family and friends, remind many people of what they have lost. So often, the glow of Christmas lights, holiday cheer, and Advent candles can feel unreachable to those surrounded by loss or grief. The death of a loved one can make us feel alone amid the celebration and joy. We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness; we need to know that we are not alone. If you haven't heard of it before, Blue Christmas sometimes called The Longest Night in the Western Christian tradition. This service is traditionally held on or near the longest night of the year, December 21st, the Winter Solstice. It honors people that have lost loved ones and are experiencing grief or loss of any kind. Usually, it includes opportunities for expressing grief, pain, and lament, as well as a chance to focus on the promise of hope. This service is not intended to be a healing service, but an acknowledgment of the hole grief leaves in one's heart while simultaneously remembering that we worship a God who is with us, even in the darkest of times. Here is a list of services from all around the US. Some will be available to attend virtually: Thurs, Nov 17th - Messiah University - Mechanicsburg, PA https://www.facebook.com/events/587675052608375/ Wed, Nov 30th - Shepherd of the Hill Lutheran Church - Elk Mount, WI https://www.facebook.com/events/808921827007536/ Thurs, Dec 1st - LIFE Community - Corvallis, OR https://www.facebook.com/events/2346285815527533/ Sat, Dec 10th - Grace CMA Church - Middleburg Heights, OH https://www.facebook.com/events/689583582592704/ Sun, Dec 11th - Southside Church of the Nazarene - Edmonton, AB, Canada https://www.facebook.com/events/674428647760596/ Sun, Dec 11th - Midway Baptist Church - Amherst, VA https://www.facebook.com/events/417402367265536/ Tues, Dec 13th - Zion's Lutheran Church - Trinidad, CO https://www.facebook.com/events/3300242806880446/ Wed, Dec 14th - Waterstone Community Church - Littleton, CO https://www.facebook.com/events/1273547216745283/ Sun, Dec 18th - Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church - Flower Mound, TX https://www.facebook.com/events/1564604410709188/ Mon, Dec 19th - West Lake Christian Church - Laurie, MO https://www.facebook.com/events/3203494279964275/ Wed, Dec 21st - Grace UMC - Parksley, VA https://www.facebook.com/events/642359534051312/ Wed, Dec 21st - St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church - Shoreline, WA - https://www.facebook.com/events/634647384680716/ Wed, Dec 21st - First United Methodist Church of Gilbert - Gilbert, AZ https://www.facebook.com/events/1511319206046296/ Wed, Dec 21st - First United Methodist Church of Mesa, Mesa, AZ https://www.facebook.com/events/518643009689292/ Wed, Dec 21st - First Evangelical Free Church of Moline - Moline, IL https://www.facebook.com/events/456099766587357 Wed, Dec 21st - Mt.
