Grief and Bereavement
Support Groups
Awareness Through Movement:
The Feldenkrais Method
Grief can feel very lonely, even when
you have loved ones around. When
someone close to you dies, the most
important factor in healing from loss
is having the support of other people.
Even if you are not comfortable
talking about your feelings under
normal circumstances, it’s important
to express them when you’re grieving,
and this can make the burden of grief
easier to carry. These groups offer
support, and allow you to connect
to others. You do not need to grieve
alone. Open to the community.
Feldenkrais—a unique approach to
movement—is for anyone wishing to
move more comfortably and easily
as well as for those with chronic
muscle and joint conditions. This
class focuses on gentle movements,
flexibility, balance, and breathing
to ease pain and improve daily
functioning. Students must be able
to get down to and up from the
floor to take this class. Open to the
community.
No class fee.
