In this episode we talk with Cynthia Drake, the Grief Educator at Omega House. She is the host of a monthly community grief support group. The Third Thursday Community Grief Support meets every month for an hour from 5 to 6 p.m. “We noticed we could use a lot more grief support in our community,” Drake said early on in the podcast. “(The group) normalizes something we all know is normal, but we’re uncomfortable talking about it.” During the pandemic the sessions seamlessly moved to virtual, and Drake said even when things are normal they might move to a more hybrid model because of how well it works. If you’re interested in learning more about the groups or want to get a link to join the next session, visit https://www.omega-house.org/grief-bereavement-program/. Quotable Moments  “Open to anyone experiencing any type of grief." “We wanted to make courageous conversations around grief." “It sets aside a time of intention.” “Everyone seems to leave really touched by the experience." “It is such a tender place to come into. It’s nice to know there are others being vulnerable.” “The people that come are really all age groups.” “Because it’s such a vulnerable place to go and you let your guard down, you trust others in the group, these become safe people for you.”  Additional Links  Rural Social Isolation and Loneliness: How to Build Grief Support by Creating Community, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOjrVeasvvE Subscribe to the PHF Monthly Email Newsletter, https://www.phfgive.org/newsletter

Good Grief is Group Grief at Omega House with Cynthia Drake

"I think of bricolage as an approach to interdisciplinary inquiry and to meaning-making. It comes from a French word meaning to tinker, and it's sometimes associated with improvisation, and sometimes associated with "do-it-yourself." I don't like that term as much because it's missing the collaborative aspect of interdisciplinary studies. Think about Levy Strauss observing craftspeople, noticing how they use materials left over from one project and creating something new. It's a sense of giving birth to what does not yet exist; improvising and using tools; fashioning tools–creating tools that didn't yet exist."  - Candace WalworthSpecial Guests: Candace Walworth and Cynthia Drake.Support Mindful U at Naropa University
