This workshop will compassionately prepare participants to walk with clients and community members through infant and pregnancy loss with honesty and integrity.

 

The Labyrinth of the Heart Center presents a powerful training with Dianna Vagianos Armentrout, author of Walking the Labyrinth of My Heart: A Journey of Pregnancy, Grief and Newborn Death. Participants will learn to support others through infant and pregnancy loss.

 

We will learn to hold space and be present for those going through these losses, work to strengthen our communities, and learn about creative arts and rituals to heal the bereaved families' hearts. We will honor the sons and daughters who died too young by learning to weave them into their families and communities.

 

This workshop is relevant for birth and death doulas, therapists and social workers, nurses, midwives, ministers of all faiths, physicians, chaplains, birth photographers, yoga instructors, chiropractors, ultrasound technicians, massage therapists, end-of-life care professionals, funeral and death practitioners and bereaved parents.
