Join Karla along with Lydia Nitya Griffith for a nourishing, supportive 3-night camping retreat at Open Sky, a re-wilded tobacco farm in beautiful Buckingham County, Virginia, to care for your broken heart. Take the time for yourself to explore your emotions, nurture your body, mind, and spirit, while you allow Mother Earth to soothe your soul.
Your days will be balanced with nourishing activities for your body, mind, and spirit that also allow space for needed reflection and personal time. You can wander the trails, enjoy the flowers in bloom, watch the birds, read, nap and listen to the needs of your own body and spirit. Learn more here...
A seven-day, intensive training program taught by researcher Dr. Joanne Cacciatore and yoga therapist Karla Helbert, LPC at the MISS Foundation Selah Carefarm just outside beautiful Sedona, Arizona. This course is approved for 30 Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) for grief and clinical training plus 30 contact hours through Yoga Alliance with a registered YACEP. The Compassionate Bereavement Care Certification® program explores and extends current evidence based practices in traumatic grief and is based in a non-medicalized, non-pathologizing, mindfulness-based approach. We teach the art of full presence and compassionate counseling informed by recent science (Cacciatore, 2010; Cacciatore & Flint, 2012; Thielman & Cacciatore, 2013; Cacciatore, Thieleman, Killian, & Tavassoli).
When we love deeply, we mourn deeply. Over ten lessons, grief expert and Zen priest Dr. Joanne Cacciatore and Karla Helbert help us navigate our path through grief, showing us a model that allows us to be with our grief and, over time, transform it into compassionate action in the world.
