TUESDAY OCTOBER 8, 7 pm: ECOSTRESS INFO SESSION & FALL GROUP INFO SESSION
Get a taste of what we do and to learn about our fall group. Register by emailing ecostresssask@gmail.com. Subject heading "Info Session Registration."
Fall Group Description:
EcoStress Sask is offering a fall group from October 15th to December 17th, 2024. Meetings will be weekly on Tuesdays at 7pm Saskatchewan time by Zoom.
This ten-week long group will be a place where people can come together in mutual support for distress related to environmental threats and losses. Group meetings will include conversation, sharing, guidance in grounding practices, self-care, and more. The group will follow the Good Grief Network’s 10 Steps to Resilience & Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate.
If you are interested in further information but cannot attend the info-session, or if you would like to be on our email list to find out about upcoming events, email ecostresssask@gmail.com.
Our non-profit organization runs on a "pay what you can" model with $300 suggested for the ten-week long group. We do not want cost to be a barrier. Everyone is welcome. Groups may decide to continue meeting on their own (without a facilitator) beyond the ten weeks.
