What is this event?
This event is an opportunity for the body of Christ to come together and process the emotions associated with grief in a new way through art and music. We will examine how the present day is influenced by loss. Participants will look at the people, places, and events that have happened since the loss and discover what emotions of grief may be influencing their present day.

Who is this event for?
Anyone can come to learn the grief mapping process. Even if there has not yet been a significant loss in someone's life, it can be a valuable tool to learn as it will likely occur one day. However, this will be most valuable to people who struggle to verbalize their grief or feel as though their emotions and thoughts are jumbled. This allows for processing without words or explanation.

Who is running this event?
This event is run by Maile Paris through Connections Church. Maile is a current clinical mental health counseling student at Denver Seminary, seeking to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. Having experienced the loss of her father, she developed the process of grief mapping as a therapeutic expression of grief.

When and where is this event?
This event is happening on Wednesday, March 4th from 6-8 pm and will be held at Connections Church: 2121 Dad Clark Drive Highlands Ranch, CO 80126


Disclaimer:
Grief is a complicated process and not one that can be healed or managed quickly. This event has the purpose of teaching a new skill with the hope of bringing clarity to those grieving. This event will have prayer ministers, a safe atmosphere and a no pressure environment but may be difficult for some people due to how sensitive the process of grief can be. We still welcome anyone who would like to learn a new way to process and potentially receive some healing. We recommend counseling and continued support through community and fellowship as essential to the grieving process.
