April 15 Hospice workshop INTRODUCTION TO SOULCOLLAGE(R)

ByHeather Conn

I’m honoured to introduce SoulCollage(R) on April 15 to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. I’ll be hosting a private workshop from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society.

This will provide an opportunity for people to grieve the loss of their loved one in a creative way in a supportive atmosphere. All materials are provided.

For those who feel like they need additional support, the hospice offers an informal eight-week bereavement support group. Volunteers will also visit people in their homes as an attentive and objective listening ear.

I’ve been a hospice volunteer since 2012 and feel honoured to be a part of this community service.
