Bullets and Roses: Recovering From Loss. An Evening With Janet Graaff

Announced on: October 6th, 2009

Janet Graaff

[Please note that the Alchemy of Loss Event has been canceled. "Bullets and Roses" is an introduction to the work of Alchemy of Loss/The Tapestry Initiative & Janet Graff as was planned originally to be presented at the seminar]

How can a person find peace, compassion, and even joy, in the face of huge loss that naturally provokes deep sadness, raging anger, and other devastating emotions? Janet and her family lost their son/brother/grandson when he was shot to death last year while defending her. He was only 21, yet already had a deep sense of his life purpose…

Janet will share how her very painful loss has changed her and made her more genuine, more compassionate, and more forgiving. She will illustrate how vulnerability can strengthen a person and deepen their connection to the world. She will attempt not to hide behind academic and analytical frameworks (her professional strengths) since she has discovered that there is extraordinary insight and joy to be gained in coming from a humble place of not knowing.

All are welcome to this heart-opening event!
