Writing Through Loss Workshop
My intention for this workshop is to create an opportunity in a safe space for your grief to express through reflection and writing. There may be emotions that you have not been ready to express or you haven’t had the time to, so you just pushed them aside to deal with later. Later never seems to come. Life is busy. This is an opportunity for you to make the time. I welcome people with any type of loss. The loss of a loved one is one type of loss and the one we think of most. We can grieve the loss of a career, a marriage, a friendship, a home, and an estranged family relationship just to name a few.
The workshop will include centering exercises to allow us to let go of distractions and be more present to the work at hand. I will be giving you a question to reflect on and write about. Those who wish to share will give the group a summary of what they wrote and anything you want to express regarding what you got from the writing.
This is a judgment-free zone; we are not here to give advice or tell others what they should or should not feel. We are here to give ourselves time and space to connect with our feelings and share with others our thoughts and feelings if that feels right for us. We have the opportunity to be supported and to be witnessed as we support and witness others. Everyone grieves in their own unique way; there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I welcome you to take this opportunity to make time for yourself.
Bring a notebook and a pen with you and an open attitude to allow what you need for your greater good.

Weekly Meditation With Will
Thursday Mindfulness Meditation Class
Join us every Thursday evening at 7:00 PM Eastern Time on Zoom for a transformative mindfulness meditation class led by Will Brand, RScP, and his team of experienced meditation practitioners.
This class provides a structured, welcoming space for both beginners and advanced students to practice Shamatha meditation, also known as mindfulness meditation. Sessions begin with a reading from one of Pema Chodron's insightful books, to help set the tone for the practice, followed by twenty minutes of silent meditation. The class then opens up for discussion to share our individual experiences and deepen our understanding of mediation while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment.
Whether you are new to meditation or new to Shamatha practice, we offer basic meditation instructions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported. Shamatha meditation translates to "peaceful abiding," and serves as the foundation of many Buddhist practices. It develops our ability to sit quietly, cultivating a calm and peaceful mind, which in turn enhances clarity and fosters a profound awareness of the present moment.
Will Brand brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our class. He studied Tibetan Buddhism at the Shambhala Meditation Center in Pittsburgh from 2009 to 2014 under the guidance of Acharya Adam Lobel. During a six-month retreat at the Shambhala meditation retreat center, Karma Chöling, Will took his Refuge Vows and completed several courses of practice in the Vajrayana tradition. His inspiration for this online meditation group stems from his role as a facilitator for the "Heart of Recovery" group at the Shambhala Meditation Center in Los Angeles, California.
We look forward to meditating with you on this heart-felt journey of self-discovery.

Treatment Night: A Monthly Healing Service
On the first Wednesday of each month, join us for Treatment Night, a special gathering led by Rev. Mary Ann Trifaro. It's an evening devoted to fostering spiritual support, personal growth, and building connections within our community.
The session begins with a heartfelt check-in, allowing each participant to share their experiences. We encourage everyone to highlight a positive moment and reflect on a situation that, at first, may not have seemed like a blessing but revealed important lessons upon closer examination.
As prayer requests are shared, the collective energy of the group amplifies the intention for healing and well-being. Each request is met with a treatment—an affirmative prayer aimed at invoking the transformative power of spiritual healing.
Following the treatments, we open the floor for Q&A, fostering a supportive environment for sharing insights, reflections, and the lessons learned during the session. The evening concludes with a closing prayer, leaving you uplifted and connected.
Join us for Treatment Night and experience the profound healing energy of collective prayer, supportive community, and the wisdom of Rev. Mary Ann Trifaro.
See you at our next gathering!
