Mariners Church Grief Workshop October 7th

Date: 07-Oct-2019

Mariners Church
5001 Newport Coast Dr
Irvine, CA 92603

Does it seem like words just aren’t enough to express the grief that you feel? Or, maybe the words are hard to find? If you’ve lost someone important in your life and you’re curious about different ways to work through your grief, then this workshop is for you. You’ll be introduced to a variety of ways, beyond talking, that can support you in processing and honoring your grief.

Sponsored by the Southern California Hospice Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to delivering a breadth of resources for patients, families and caregivers confronting the final stages of life, and led by Randy Hill, you will be encouraged that you are not alone.

Event Details

Bereavement Support

Botanical Blends & Balance Grief Support Group

Grief is deeply personal, but it should never be experienced alone. This intimate, 8-week support group offers a gentle and restorative space for individuals navigating loss to come together, reflect, and heal.

Held in the peaceful garden of the Heavenly Home, this experience blends traditional grief support with holistic practices designed to nurture both emotional and physical well-being.

About the Experience

This small-group series is designed to create a sense of connection, safety, and renewal. Through guided discussions and experiential practices, participants will explore meaningful ways to honor their grief while learning tools to support ongoing self-care.

Each session incorporates:

  • Supportive group sharing
  • Restorative aromatherapy
  • Guided imagery and reflection
  • Gentle practices to promote balance and healing

The group is intentionally limited to just eight participants to ensure a deeply personal and supportive experience.

Facilitator

The group is led by Michelle D. Montgomery, B.A., I.A.C., RYT, Principal of Botanical Blends and Balance, a Southern California–based holistic aromatherapy and wellness practice. She brings a compassionate, integrative approach to supporting individuals through grief and life transitions.
