Complementary Healing Modalities

There are many methods of healing for the grieving, and different approaches work for different people. Sharing Kindness makes available a selection of healing modalities, including mindfulness, sound bowls, drumming, yoga, journaling and self-compassion. The following are some of the grief programs we offer outside of peer support.

Current Programs:

5-week peer grief support program

Through grant-funded partnerships, Sharing Kindness offers five-week support programs, called Grief Tools, that introduce a new healing modality each week. Examples of these modalities may include mindfulness, drumming, yoga and self compassion.

The Healing Circle

Movement and journaling sessions for grievers

These sessions focus on gentle movement and breath work with the goal of physical and emotional relaxation. Throughout these sessions, participants are guided through journal prompts and are invited to share their feelings, if they feel comfortable.

There are currently no scheduled sessions. Check back for upcoming dates!

Drumming for Grief

Sharing Kindness periodically hosts Drumming for Grief sessions. Drumming is particularly beneficial for the grieving, as it helps to release complex emotions in ways that language cannot.
