The Good Grief Lounge returns to the Northern Arts Hotel this Saturday July 4.
The lounge offers a relaxed facilitated opportunity to engage with the community in dealing with death and loss in open conversations with a series of
qualified speakers.
Participants talk about practical matters and also lead healing arts and crafts workshops to increase mental health, based on the scientific proof that that the chemistry invoked by engaging in the arts affects your mind and body, that it transforms your brain and charges your wellbeing.
In the July GGL, Castlemaine Cemetery Manager Debra Tranter will offer information about the cemetery, its history and its services, and Arts Therapist Marita Jacobssen will lead those in attendance in creating Grief Poetry.
There will be time to sit and share if you wish over a home cooked morning tea.
The session runs from 11am-1pm in the embracing space of the Northern Ats Hotel, 359 Barker Street, Castlemaine.
Entry $10 donation to cover costs. Please register your attendance: https://events.humanitix.com/good-grief- lounge
