NCX Wellness Night


Finding Meaning in Loss

 
The experience of caring for a loved one through terminal illness and eventual loss can be incredibly isolating and emotionally overwhelming. Dr. Lani Leary, author of No One Has to Die Alone, shares accessible insights, practical tools, and personal stories to provide a sense of community, profound relief, and deep meaning for both caregiver and patient through illness, death and bereavement. Dr. Leary has over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with chronically ill, dying and bereaved clients. Leary also garners wisdom from her personal experience — her mother’s death when she was a child, her father’s death from cancer, her own profound near-death experience — and has sat with over 500 people as they died. Visit www.drlanileary.com.

Relationship Satsang: Awakening the Intimate Heart
Co-facilitated by Anakha Coman and Dave Markowitz

This is not a class about what any of us already know. It is an opportunity and a call to go beyond that; to see into what we haven't seen about ourselves, one another, and about true love and intimacy. 
 
It is an opportunity to address and dissolve defenses, to face with affectionate acceptance the false identity that keeps love at bay — to meet and express our true self in a safe, loving, compassionate and stretching environment and space.
 
Whether you've been in a 30-year marriage or if you are just now beginning to date (again), this class offers the opportunity to go beyond who we've been, and experience a love beyond what we've imagined possible — yet know is available.
