- **Event Name**: Art of Loss: grief and bereavement through creative exploration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: March 12-April 16 (6-weeks) on Thursday afternoons from 1:30-3pm

The gentle invitation to navigate loss, grief, and bereavement through the expressive arts can offer therapeutic exploration for emotional and spiritual wellness. Often in grief, words fall short and playing with colour, line, form, and symbol can open pathways of insight and avenues of communication that may otherwise feel inaccessible. And no art experience is necessary.
