Groundings is a monthly lecture series offered September through May by Sacred Ground in collaboration with Loyola Spirituality Center and the Ignatian Spirituality Center at Saint Thomas More. Groundings is open to anyone interested in deepening their spirituality, their capacity for deep listening, and their contemplative engagement in our world.
Grief is a complex journey that we all take at some point in our lives. In this Groundings presentation, Rev. Cathy M. Kolwey invites us to examine the many stages of grief and to look at how the process of making and experiencing art can help in processing grief. Through discussions of poetry, sacred texts, clay work, and other healing modalities, we will explore how grief can become more faceted and meaningful when it is viewed through a creative lens. If we must grieve, may it be a means for us to spark creativity and healing within ourselves.
Rev. Cathy M. Kolwey is an artist, writer, and pastor who has played at the intersection of Spirituality and the Arts for over twenty years. She is currently the pastor of Waconia Moravian Church in Carver County, MN. She is also a grief facilitator who works with the healing arts to help herself and others process grief in artful ways.
