Join Me for a Dialogue on Grief
I’ve been invited to join Elizabeth Coplan via Zoom for a discussion around grief and the role art plays in healing from life’s tragedies. I hope you’ll join us. It feels especially relevant now, as we have lost so much of what we depended on for our previously so-called normal life! Elizabeth is the founder and curator of Grief Dialogues.
Description: Join Claudia Coenen of The Karuna Project and poet Neil Beresin, sculptor Caito Stewart, and artist Hermine Harman, in a discussion on the healing that begins when we pour our grief into art.
Date: TBD (The host had to cancel this event; we look forward to having it in 2021.)
As many of you know, I was trained as a social worker. Then, in the defining tragedy of my life, my only son committed suicide. As part of my grieving process, I went to the retreat center in Big Sur, California and began making art. Decades later, I am still here, making art, and sharing my love of color as a powerful curative energy we can all access.

After experiencing several losses, I turned to writing plays to process my own grief. I soon discovered from those who saw my plays that they too had their own death and grief stories to share.
Why had they never shared their stories before? Because no one ever asked them. So I asked them to submit their stories. ~ Elizabeth Coplan
