House of Mourning: A Journey of Poetry, Grief and Healing
Join poet, rabbi, and hospice chaplain Benjamin Shalva for a 90-minute, small-group workshop created especially for caregivers and those accompanying others—or themselves—through loss and grief. Drawing from his poetry collection, House of Mourning, Rabbi Shalva weaves poetry readings, gentle discussion, guided meditation, and optional writing exercises to offer a restorative space for listening, reflection and renewal. This gathering invites participants to tend to their soulful selves while carrying the weight of caregiving and grief—and to explore how poetry can help us stay present, soften aches, and find moments of meaning and renewal along the way.
