Vancouver, WA – December 2008 through December 2009 – FREE SoulCollage® classes offered on a monthly basis for people who are grieving the loss of their pets.
Facilitated by Kathryn King, MSW
As we know, the death of a pet can be excruciatingly painful. Pet owners often feel alone in their grief, especially in a culture that is generally not comfortable with death of any kind. To honor the one-year anniversary of the death of my beloved 16-year-old Aussie, "Poco", I am offering a year of monthly free SoulCollage classes to folks who have lost a pet. (The loss can be recent or from long ago). How does SoulCollage help with grief? It is a process of using images from magazines and other sources and allowing our intuitive (right brain) to create a “SoulCollage® card”. In small groups, we create the cards and then spend time together using the left side of our brains to help us understand the unique meaning of each card. Because this process takes us beneath the limitations of words and linear thinking, it is an amazing tool for processing feelings. The nature of groups, of course, is that we realize we are not alone in our sorrow.
Fee: No cost but please bring favorite scissors if you have them.
When: Classes will be scheduled on a monthly basis, please see web site for places, dates and times. Please RSVP
For more info: Contact Kathryn King at 360-696-8837, email her, or visit her website.
