The start of a new year often brings expectations of fresh beginnings, yet for many, it also highlights the weight of grief. Whether you are navigating the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a phase of life, or a significant transition, this time of year can feel emotionally complex.
Navigating the New Year After Loss is a 90-minute, in-person healing workshop designed to help you gently reconnect with yourself and process the emotions that arise during this season, without pressure, judgment, or expectations.
Led by Dipika Patel, LGPC, this experience combines creative arts, guided reflection, and grounding tools to support emotional integration and renewal as you move into the year ahead.
