Chapel for Healing now home to Doing Grief Community Healing Project

Posted

The Church of the Palms, 14808 N. Boswell Blvd., recently dedicated its Interfaith Chapel for Healing as the new home of Doing Grief Community Healing Project.

The Community Healing Project is a community of grievers and healers, empowering grievers to heal in mind, body and spirit. Those of all faiths and no faith who are experiencing losses due to death, broken relationships, illness, injury, aging or any grief-striking loss are welcome.

“Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, there is a new awareness of the layers of grief that run through our community–personally and socially,” stated Director of the project, Rev. Shea Darian. “We are all on a search for new meaning, hope, healing and a sense of belonging. Doing Grief Community Healing Project is a place for you to find that.”

The project offers healing through the arts programs, contemplative worship, prayer and meditation opportunities, grief support and grief education. Darian also offers Healing Circle small groups and one-on-one, family and work group spiritual direction services – a confidential, contemplative speaking and listening process to discover inspiration, healing and guidance for everyday life and relationships. A Healing Circle brochure is available to download on the Doing Grief Community Healing Project website at DoingGrief.com.

“There are many causes of grief–beyond the obvious loss of loved ones,” Rev. Susan Princehouse, member of Church of the Palms and Community Healing Project team member, explains. “We grieve physical and intellectual losses as we age ... changes in friendships, jobs, professional, community and financial standing, as well as deep personal injuries from our past. We all need help navigating these changes.”

Spring 2023 programs offered by healing practitioners from the Phoenix metro area and beyond include Story Circles, Drum Circles, Doing Grief in Real Life (workshop), Healing the Parent and Grandparent Within, ArtShare Circles, Healing Properties of Slow-stitching (fabric work), facilitated Labyrinth Walk for Peace, Watercolor Painting (ages 9 and older), Sacred Geometry Drawing (ages 12 and older), Healing with Sound Vibrations, Reiki Self-healing, Memoir Writing and Healing Circles.

“We at The Church of the Palms are excited to be part of this healing ministry offered to the whole community,” added Princehouse.
