Groundings: Considering Epiphanies for Grief and Bereavement Care

  • Saint Thomas More Catholic Church, Ignatius Hall or Online 1079 Summit Avenue Saint Paul, MN, 55105 United States (map)

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.


Many phrases about loss, grief, and bereavement routinely used by practitioners arrived as epiphanies. Reflection is a natural activity. To a greater or lesser extent, we all spend time going back over what we have heard, read, said, or done. This workshop explores discernment of five core epiphanies used in grief and bereavement care, inviting participants to  consider and reflect more deeply upon their own list of phrases frequently given voice in grief support.
