A Time of Remembrance, a ceremony created to bring together survivors of violence, will take place Wednesday, January 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event, presented by Wilshire Hospice, is being offered online specifically so those who wish to retain their anonymity may do so at: https://calpoly.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZC0PSTNzRjmMJ5ZEE8uWLw
The event is for anyone who has been a victim of, and/or has survived, a violent act and for family and friends who may be the survivor of an act of violence. Wilshire Hospice presenters will offer time to mourn as a community, honor the many ways the experience of violence changes our lives and provide a space for healing. Through story, poetry, music and ceremony, A Time of Remembrance is a time for us to gather, remember our loved ones, our life before the loss and be compassionate with ourselves and our complex emotions.
The featured speaker is Suzanne Neuhaus, herself a survivor of a violent act that touched her family, who works to facilitate healing from harm through personal accompaniment and restorative dialogue.
Wilshire Hospice bereavement counselors are also available for follow-up should extra support be desired.
