The workshop series is planned every last Sunday of the month. You can join in any time, and the sessions stand on their own: you can join once, or multiple times.
Date and Time: Sunday November 30 | 15:30 to 17:30
By using small creative writing exercises, we will express our stories of grief, give voice to our sadness or pen down our warm memories of loved ones. This can be healing on its own. You can then share your experiences and advice with others as well as learn from them. As everyone deals with grief differently, this can lead to new ideas.
Student testimony:
"I really appreciated the workshop. It was such a unique safe and open space: I felt much less lonely in my grieving process, connecting with people going through similar emotions. The writing helped to organize my thoughts and I also can continue on my own to process the feelings further."
About the trainer:
Marloes Harkema, author of a book about grief and grief counsellor, will lead these sessions. After having lost her husband when she was 28, she discovered how healing it is to write and how essential it is to connect with others. Now, 15 years later, she facilitates writing workshops, walks and talks on grief. She works as life coach and communication trainer for the university and as Buddhist chaplain for Spectrum.

Please know:
If you have
recently lost someone very close to you, such as a family member or parent, it often takes time before you feel ready to join a grief group. This varies from person to person, but generally, it can be helpful to wait a few months before joining. Of course, you are always welcome for one-on-one counseling.You can find us
